Pay attention to local weather broadcasts. You may also want to visit the National Weather Service website (see the link below) to see what weather alerts are in your area. You need not worry too much, as a slight risk from the storm prediction center does not mean there is an immediate threat.

If severe weather does move into your area, see if you have a battery operated weather radio as severe storms can cause power outages.

How does a solar storm and solar flare affect earth?

Magnetic Storms have a severe affect on our technological and electrical infrastructure, both in space and on the ground. Usually Earth's magnetic field, generated by the dynamo under earth's lithosphere, protects us from magnetic disturbances, but severe magnetic storms have in the past knocked out power grids in the entire province of Quebec. Magnetic Storms would have a severe effect, and would likely, en masse, shut down large amounts of current human grids and technological infrastructure, as concluded by the National Academy of Sciences.

Given the large area under a 30% level of risk, a moderate risk cannot be ruled out. High risk outlooks are extremely rare in October. Only 3 have been issued in the past 30 years.


What should you do if you're under a MDT risk of severe storms?

If a moderate risk of severe storms is issued for your area you should be on alert for any severe thunderstorm or tornado warnings. For these purposes you may tune into the TV or radio or check out the National Weather Service web site (link below). It is also a good idea to keep a battery operated weather radio handy as severe thunderstorms and tornadoes can cause power outages.
