Let me say that we need electricity...
I dont have anything to make my soup heating...
And in winter here it is really cold at night ...
I will pray for our grid to stay whole and working ...
I remember very well the last time with a CME... 😊
All criminals after the last four years of masses controls, giving money to Ukraine and Israelis to entertain ongoing wars, never adressed the grid stability problem... Think about criminals think about those who lead North America...

«Québec is especially vulnerable. The province sits on an expanse of Precambrian igneous rock that does a poor job conducting electricity. When the March 13th CME arrived, storm currents found a more attractive path in the high-voltage transmission lines of Hydro-Québec. Unusual frequencies (harmonics) began to flow through the lines, transformers overheated and circuit breakers tripped.»
for us in quebec there is a good news , for you Americans i dont know but i doubt it :
«“We have made lots of progress,” he says. “In fact, if the 1989 storm happened again today, I believe Québec would not lose power. The modern grid is designed to withstand an extreme 1-in-100 year geomagnetic event. To put that in perspective, March 1989 was only a 1-in-40 or 50 year event–well within our design specs.”»
