A strong magnetic storm is expected on Earth on November 29

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Strong magnetic storms are predicted on Earth on November 28 and 29. This was reported on the website of the IKI and ISTP solar astronomy laboratory.

It is noted that a weak magnetic storm of level G1 is expected late in the evening of November 28. After 06:00 Moscow time on November 29, a stronger six-point wave of level G2 will hit the Earth, which will continue until 12:00 Moscow time.

At the same time, according to the forecast for December, after the storm on November 29, the Earth’s magnetosphere will be in a calm state almost until the end of the year.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, in early October, a level X flare occurred on the Sun, which caused a plasma ejection in the direction of the Earth and a magnetic storm. According to scientists, this occurred exactly along the Sun-Earth line, while the geometric dimensions of the ejection exceeded possible calculation errors.

Later, on October 28, a plasma cloud with a speed of about 600 km/s and a temperature of about 700 thousand degrees reached the Earth. Two active spots 3842 and 3848 are on the side of the Sun visible from the Earth, which caused powerful magnetic storms at the beginning of the month.

Wonder how many never do a level Zero bkup? And if they do, bother to place the portable USB 3.0 bkup drive in a shielded container with a laptop and extra batteries?

#2 I never do that, NN2N1. I have no idea what you’re talking about, though clearly I should learn.

#6 The challenge in prepping for a true Carrington event: "My car's remote works just fine. I saved it!" But of course, the car doesn't work ... and neither does the internet, cell phone network, power grid and a whole bunch of other things. So ... buying hand tools might be your better option if what you want is functionality.

#7 I assume my personal engineer will survive without needing to be wrapped in tinfoil and grounded, Chicago Lurker. As long as I have him, everything else can be created from first principles. ;-)

#9 I have been inspired by the discussion to search out a stout Faraday cage equivalent to store my spare Lenovo Thinkpad, its external SSD, and a charger. Up until now they've just been sitting on a shelf waiting for the right magnetic storm or EMP strike.

#10 On the very rare occasions of a power failure, the first thing I do is turn on one of my vulnerable battery powered radios & search for a local signal. I would know trouble if I could find nothing over the air. This might indicate something more sinister than a mere power failure.
Got to add a battery power amateur radio handy-talkie to my Faraday box.

#11 Costco is offering a 2TB Sandisk Extreme GO (not 'Pro') SSD for just $110 as a holiday special. This beats any other 2TB device of that quality anywhere (at the moment).
