The #Carrington Event was both the most powerful #SolarStorm and the most powerful #Geomagnetic #Storm ever recorded.

It started with an incredibly intense solar flare, the most powerful ever observed, releasing a massive amount of energy and matter from the Sun.

This solar storm sent a massive coronal mass ejection towards Earth, which then slammed into our magnetosphere, causing the most intense geomagnetic storm ever recorded.

The #geomagnetic storm could pose risks to critical infrastructure, #NOAA said, including possible widespread voltage ⚡ control issues causing power grids to fail, #satellite #navigation being inaccurate by up to tens of meters and low-frequency radio disruption. #NewYork City Emergency Management said the geomagnetic storm could cause other issues as its intensity may vary throughout the event forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/20

Forbes · Northern U.S. Faces ‘Severe’ Geomagnetic Storm, Likely Impacting Power Grids—Here’s What To KnowBy Ty Roush

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH--EXTENDED: Geomagnetic storms are possible for the next three days, especially on Sept. 13th when a full halo CME is expected to strike Earth head-on. NOAA predicts a chance of G1 storms on the Sept. 11th and 12th, followed by a G2 storm on the 13th. We need a big storm to see the Northern Lights in Southern CT, and while the possibility is there on any of these days, the best chance is on the 13th. Spaceweather.com
