Dear Ones,

This is a report on a near-miss Killer X-flare …

INTRODUCTION

The potential Killer X8.2 -X20 Flare of 10 September 2017 subsequently was downgraded by NASA to X8.2. I am dubious of the authenticity of this downgrade. That is because there was no public warning that I knew of, to do with preparing for possible disaster here on Earth, in case there should be a direct hit.

I gathered from that the ‘news’ is more or less a ‘gloss over’ to keep John Q. dull-witted and pacified. I gather that, if a killer flare is ever directly aimed at Earth, we will not get any advance notice online.

I would peg this lack of prior announcement to one of two things: Either NASA electronics go haywire when Killer Flares occur … that is quite a likely possibility, I feel … or … and this I feel to be equally likely … the brains of NASA people short-circuit to head-in-the-sand mode because of proton overload. Whether it is the computers or the human brains that go haywire, the result will be the same. We can expect no warning whatsoever from the ‘news’ on the brink of a catastrophe of great magnitude.

What that means to me is that each of us must be prepared for disasters, just in case. We need to be ‘on the cutting edge’ in this regard. Here is my blog on the topic as well …

Here is my account of our planet’s 10 September 2017 lucky escape from a great disaster. I had to piece this together while my brain was only half functional because of proton influx into Earth’s atmosphere, but I have subsequently gone through and corrected the typos and the links …

YESTERDAY’S X-FLARE: X8.2 TO X20

There has been another X flare … variously estimated as X8.2 to X20 … quite significant … at about 9 am PDT yesterday … it affected about half the solar system, which is unusual. There has been a ham radio blackout in the Americas since then; it is now subsiding. There is a mild radiation storm in progress. Because the flare happened as the sunspot turned away from Earth, SWPC predicts only a G2 geostorm. SWPC provides prompt alerts on space weather conditions:

Link: Space Weather Prediction Center alerts … https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings ..

SO calls it a ‘Killer X Flare’ … but fortunately it was not facing Earth directly. I feel it would have been a Carrington Event, rather than a planet killer, had it been footprinted to Earth.

EFFECT OF A CORONAL MASS EJECTION ON EARTH DEPENDS ON HOW EARTH-DIRECTED THE EJECTION IS, AS WELL AS ON HOW SEVERE THE GEOSTORM IS

The more Earth-directed the CME, the stronger the Earth effects. These effects include …

  • ham radio blackouts
  • interference with low-frequency navigation signals, including loss of navigation signals
  • interference with spacecraft operations, including degradation of satellite navigation systems
  • GPS and internet blackouts or loss
  • radiation hazard to astronauts and people in high-flying airplanes
  • potential isolated or widespread power grid failures, either blackouts or collapse of grids
  • damage to power transformers
  • pipeline currents reaching hundreds of amps
  • auroras seen lower than usual; in the extreme case, as low as Florida and southern Texas

WAS YESTERDAY’S X-FLARE A ‘KILLER FLARE’?

GOES X-Ray Flux

The GOES X-ray flux for the flare was pretty dramatic …

UV Flash of CME Erupting

However, the sunspot was departing Earth as it erupted …

ENLIL Spiral Model of CME’s Impact on Earth

Space Weather News has noted that the ENLIL Spiral model below shows a CME blast that is more conservative than the satellite imagery, which shows a CME affecting more than half the solar system:

Killer X-flare

The moving model from which the above still is taken is ENLIL model 2017-09-09.

On Figuring Out the ENLIL Model

I have been trying to figure out the ENLIL model for awhile now. I have not found much out there by way of explanation except this, which, by my non-techie lights is about as clear as mud

Link: “WSA-ENLIL Solar Wind Prediction,” by NOAA/SWPC … https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/wsa-enlil-solar-wind-prediction … Click this link: Details

I will hazard some comments anyway …

The ENLIL Key. As shown in the key at the top of the streamers, the planets are depicted as variously colored circles.

  • Earth is a yellow circle,
  • Mars is a red circle,
  • Mercury is an orange circle,
  • Venus is a green circle,
  • the squares represent two spacecraft equipped with cameras, Stereo_A (red) and Stereo_B (blue)
  • the black diamond, Osiris-REx, is a spacecraft launched to study a particular asteroid so as to help determine how the Solar system was formed and how it evolved
  • the pink square, Spitzer, may refer to the Spitzer Space Telescope spacecraft

Left Image … the Equatorial Cut Plane: It looks to me like the round image on the far left shows a model of our Solar System as viewed from above. In the moving view, CMEs can be seen sweeping out from the Sun and past the planets. This is termed the ‘equatorial cut plane’ view.

Center Image … the Meridional Cut Plane: This may be a model showing Earth (the yellow circle) and the incoming CME (the wing of yellow, red and green energy) as seen from just beyond the side of Earth on the far side of the Sun. I figure this must be the case, as the CME storm shown as a ‘C’ in the left-hand image would look like the CME wing in the center image if seen from that perspective.

Right Image … a Radial Surface: I notice that spacecraft Stereo_A (the red square), the Spitzer Space Telescope spacecraft (the pink square) and spacecraft Stereo_B (the blue square) are all lined up with Earth in this model.

From the Left Image, I note that all three spacecraft are positioned about as far from the Sun as is Earth.

The second circular line in the Left Image includes the red square, the pink square, the yellow circle (Earth) and the blue square, in the same order as the straight line in the Right Image. It must be, then, that a ‘Radial Surface’ image is a straightened out model of the second circular line in the Left Image.

From this Right Image we might get a general idea of the composite photos of the event from the three spacecraft. This is just my uneducated guess …

Ground Level Event (GLE) on 10 September 2017

Note also that a ground level event (GLE) was observed near both the North Pole and the South Pole on 10 September 2017.

Link: “The Bartol Research Institute’s South Pole Neutron Monitor detected a GLE on Sept. 10th” …  https://www.spaceweather.com/images2017/11sep17/southpole_strip.png ..

According to Space Weather, 11 September 2017 Archive ..https://www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=12&month=09&year=2017… what happened was that radioactive particles penetrated Earth’s protective EMF and touched Earth.

Space Weather feels this happened because of the position of the 10 September 2017 X-Flare on the Western limb of the Sun. On looking at the blue and black photo of the flare, above, you will see the X-flare erupting on right side of the image.

Were this to be a photo of Earth, the right side of the image would be the Eastern side; however, East and West are reversed on Sun images. Thus you are viewing a Western Limb flare.

Per Space Weather, Western Limb flares have a stronger impact on Earth because this area of the Sun is so strongly magnetically connected to Earth. Here is an illustration …

Image: Western Limb Flare, showing Interplanetary (Parker) Field Lines and Interplanetary Shock Wave … https://spaceweather.com/images2017/04apr17/parkerspiral.gif?PHPSESSID=s9u3f727n0v30rr4h96kmjub66 ..

To me, this seems to be another indication that the overall geoeffect of the X-flare may be somewhat greater than expected. At least, the radiation effect, due to the early X-ray influx, was strong.

Conclusion Regarding Strength of the Solar Flare

Taking all the above into consideration, while the sunspot was departing Earth when it erupted into a CME, there was an Earth-directed component to the eruption that may result in a low level geostorm today and tomorrow.

In the event the satellite imagery proves more true-to-life than the ENLIL Spiral model, then the moderate G2 geostorm prediction by Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) for tomorrow …https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g2-watch-issued-13-september-g1-watch-issued-14-september… will likely be a little too conservative as well.

Protonfall now … is 6177, which is rather high. Both the speed and the density of protonfall are on the high side, so the CME is most likely already beginning to impact Earth’s atmosphere.

It might be that we will see G3 geostorm conditions tomorrow, 11 September 2017 PDT, rather than G2.

I myself believe this was, at most, a Carrington Event, even had it been Earth directed, rather than a killer flare … and most likely a ‘semi-Carrington’ … My reasoning is this …

On the attached list of largest X-flares in recorded history, some of the largest … as large as yesterday’s flare … have produced CMEs that were Earth directed. While there were radio blackouts, and in one case, power grid failures in Canada  (which is farther north than the United States, and thus more at the effect of solar storms), none but the 1859 CME produced a Carrington event.

I note also having read that communication lines today are more insulated than the telegraph lines of 1859, which were so greatly affected by the 1859 event. This by way of mitigating factors.

………

As you see, one was just moving out of the dark side of the sun, three were departing Earth, and three were directly at Earth’s footprint. Yet none created a Carrington Event.

I read that the series of X-flares that led to the Quebec power grid failure in March 1989 … which might be considered a ‘semi-Carrington event’ …  led the way to the power and speed of the final flare, by clearing the way through space for it.

As to the 1859 Carrington event itself, I have no figures on the strength of the CME. An astronomer at the North Pole was able to see the sunspot, which was presumably Earth facing.

I have yet to isolate the factors specific to a Carrington event.

There is a conspiracy theory that the ‘near miss’ Killer X-flare of September 2017 actually did wipe out Earth, and that a crew of Star Beings is attempting to rehabilitate our Souls so that we can continue onward with our Soul journey mentally healthy. Every once in awhile I run across this conspiracy theory as a mental filter in the mind of a person who is sending me thought forms through telepathy.

Here is my take on that mental filter: First of all, it is just that … a thought form created, in this case, by Reptilian Star Beings, that is intended to hobble and cripple the emotional bodies of human beings, so they may be enslaved.

Secondly, in terms of multitemporal timeline theory, I posit that in September 2017 there was a burden of Reptoids (Reptilian-human hybrids) on Earth, and that the way forward for them was a spinoff into an Apocalyptic Awareness timeline in which Earth was destroyed by a Killer X-flare. The spinoff occurred, and these Lost Reptoid Souls are now experiencing an alternate reality similar to the Maldekian disaster that occurred aeons ago. Their Awareness, like that of the Maldekians until recent times, must be knit or glommed or tangled or ‘knotted’ together in a mass hysterical experience of Apocalyptic loss of our home world, Earth.

Even though that may be so, all is not lost for these Reptoid Souls. We Lightworkers and healers can, through the portal of the Now … the 10th Subtle Body … relocate these Lost Souls into their optimum timeline (if they are willing to let that happen). Here is the Activation of Light that will allow that to occur …

Suspicious Observers on Grid Impact from Today’s Consecutive Solar Flares . by Alice B. Clagett

Written and published on 6 September 2017; revised on 7 September 2017

Dear Ones,

Here is Suspicious Observers’ excellent video on the consecutive solar flares described in my last two blogs …

Video: “Great Solar Flare – September 6, 2017,” by SuspiciousObservers, 6 September 2017 …  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=214&v=pQXu4JmbvzU ..

Note that he mentions these probabilities …

  • Major grid impact … 25-30% probability
  • Global loss … 10% probability [I feel he may be referring to a Carrington event]

I thought earlier the global loss probability might be a 5% chance. Suspicious Observers (SO) is very well respected in Space Weather circles. I feel his thoughts on this topic are well worth considering.

I further note that Pete Riley of Predictive Science, San Diego, CA, in 2012 calculated the probability of a Carrington event in the next 10 years at approximately 12%; here is the paper …

Link: “On the probability of occurrence of extreme space weather events,” by Pete Riley, in “Space Weather,” Vol. 10, S02012, doi:10.1029/2011SW000734, 2012 … http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2011SW000734/pdf ..

Note that he offers a Disaster Prediction App for those with handhelds … This looks like a great product.

There is still time to buy canned food and gallons of water for your kitchen cabinet; it is always good to be prepared, especially when there is plenty of advance warning, as there was today.

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

PS: The music at the end of Suspicious Observers’ video seems like “the dance of the solar devi” does it not? (In occult lore, solar devi (devas) are purported to be the angelic beings that create solar flares.)

PSS: I note Space Plasma Physicist Dr. Tamitha Skov has a video on the X9.3 flare here …

GEOSTORM NEWS FLASHES

12:45 pm on 6 September 2017: There was an additional X1 flare at 1301 UT on 6 September 2017… That would be 6:01 am PDT. Just now, while outside, I sensed another short-duration solar flare, but it is not yet appearing on the data.

8:20 am on 7 September 2017: NOAA SWPC has strong geostorm watch in effect for 7-9 September 2017; see … Link: G3 Watch: 7 Through 9 September, 2017 Due to CME Effects, by Space Weather Prediction Center/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (SWPC/NOAA) … https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g3-watch-7-through-9-september-2017-due-cme-effects ..

7 September 2017: New events since yesterday, per NOAA:
X1.3 Solar Flare 2017 Sep 07 1420 UTC
M7.3 Solar Flare 2017 Sep 07 1013 UTC
Geomagnetic Storm Category G3 Predicted, Issue Time: 2017 Sep 06 2126 UTC

INCOMING FLARES AND CMES AS OF THE MORNING OF 6 SEPTEMBER 2017, PDT

There have been 2 X-flares in the last 6 hours …

  • The first was X2 (considerable),
  • and the second X9.3 (massive).

Their X-ray energies will have already arrived at Earth shortly after the flares happened. They are most likely Earth-directed; this is still being studied, and will be announced as soon as it is known.

Meanwhile, there is a coronal mass ejection (CME) from an M-class flare due to impact Earth late this afternoon or this evening (6 September 2017) . From what I could see of the NOAA video, it looks like this CME will be largely, but not completely, a direct hit (not the typical ‘glancing blow’ as is so frequently termed by NOAA).

Here is the GOES Xray Flux graph for this morning …

Chart: GOES Xray Flux, updated 2017 Sep 6 14:53:12 UTC, NOAA/SWPC Boulder, CO USA, public domain … DESCRIPTION: 2 X-class flares on 6 September 2017

Chart: GOES Xray Flux, updated 2017 Sep 6 14:53:12 UTC, NOAA/SWPC Boulder, CO USA, public domain … DESCRIPTION: 2 X-class flares on 6 September 2017

WHERE TO FIND OUT WHETHER THE X-FLARES WILL BE EARTH-DIRECTED

The two X-flares are, at this point, considered to be at least partly Earth-directed. However, such predictions change from hour to hour, and there is a fair amount of uncertainty involved. Sometimes, for instance, CMEs may appear to be Earth directed, or appear to be about to deliver a glancing blow to Earth’s atmosphere, and then may miss our atmosphere entirely.

The incoming M-class CME may interrupt internet transmission later on today, so it may be difficult to get information on the X-flares during that time.

The same media interruption might take place as the X-flares approach Earth, so it would be best to be prepared for these events beforehand, just in case.

TODAY’S FIRST X-FLARE, WHICH IS MOST LIKELY EARTH-DIRECTED

SDO/AIA Images of the First X-Flare

I took a look at a Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (SDO/AIA) image of the first X-flare this morning. To me, it looks to be Earth-directed, but from the video I gather it was relatively short in duration.

Nevertheless, because it is fast-moving, there will likely be some resonance and reverb adding to the intensity of an ongoing geostorm, if in fact the first X-flare is Earth directed.

Here is the SDO/AIA image of today’s first X-flare …

There are more spectacular images of this flare, but by my lights, they overstate the magnitude of the solar event because they lack fine detail. However, for comparison, here is one such image of today’s first X-flare event …

TODAY’S SECOND X-FLARE, WHICH IS MOST LIKELY EARTH-DIRECTED

And then we have the second X-flare of today (and any others that may occur today and tomorrow) to consider, as possibly adding to Earth EMF reverb if these subsequent X-flares produce Earth-directed CMEs.

According to Space Weather News … www.spaceweathernews.com … today’s second X-flare is X9.3 … very significant … the largest solar flare since the last Solar Cycle, and the 15th largest since recordkeeping started on X flares in February 1755 (1) …

Here is Stereo A, the first image available on this event … https://stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov/browse/2017/09/06/ahead_20170906_cor2_512.mpg ..

Tweets on the Second X-Flare

At the bottom of the Solar Dynamic Observatory page … https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ … there is a link to tweets on solar events …

@The Sun Today … https://twitter.com/thesuntoday … which includes these comments …

Estimated Arrival Time for Today’s Second X-Flare (If It Is Earth-Directed): 2 am PDT on 7 September 2017

  • Per the Sun Today tweet mentioned above, today’s second X-flare is travelling at 2000 km/s, which would be 7,200,000 km/hour.
  • The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 149.6 million km.
  • Dividing 149.6 M by 7.2 M, I get 20.78 hours from the time of the flare to Earth impact.
  • Today’s second solar flare occurred at 1229 UTC on 6 September 2017. That would be 5:29 am Pacific Daylight Time.
  • Adding the 20.78 hours estimated travel time to the 5.29 am PDT flare event moment, I get the likelihood that the X9.3 flare will arrive at Earth a little after 2 am tomorrow, 7 September 2017, or possibly as much as 12 hours later.

Another way of doing this calculation …

  • The first estimate available on the travel time of X9.3 is about 21 hours.
  • As there are 24 hours in a day, the CME ought to arrive in a little less than a day … about 3 hours less (i.e., 24 minus 21 hours)
  • Since the flare happened at about 5:30 am PDT today, it ought to arrive three hours less than that tomorrow … i.e., about 2:30 am tomorrow.
  • However, those of you who have been following space predictions will have observed that speed predictions are very rough estimates. The delta, the ‘wuss factor’ is about 6 hours, plus or minus.
  • In the case of this flare, first estimates of speed are very high. I would thus be inclined to place it on the near end of estimates, and to double the 6-hour delta on the far side of ETA. Anyway, that is my view on the event at the moment.

I would appreciate the reader double-checking my calculations above, and offering any corrections needed …

MIGHT TODAY’S X-FLARES PRODUCE A CARRINGTON EVENT?

Carrington events are exceedingly rare; the last one happened in 1859.  Here is a little from the Wikipedia article on that event …

“Studies have shown that a solar storm of this magnitude occurring today would likely cause more widespread problems for a modern and technology-dependent society … The solar storm of 2012 was of similar magnitude, but it passed Earth’s orbit without striking the planet …” –from Link: “Solar Storm of 1859” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859 .. WP: CC BY-SA

Over the last solar cycle, we had a few weeks when two Earth-directed X-flares happened; yet there was no Carrington event. So it is quite possible there will be no Carrington event tomorrow or the next day.

Speed of Today’s Second X-Flare Compared to that of the Solar Flare Causing the 1859 Carrington Event

Comparing the speed of today’s X9.3 flare to that of the flare which produced the 1859 Carrington event, I have this from Wikipedia on the 1859 event …

“The flare was associated with a major coronal mass ejection (CME) that traveled directly toward Earth, taking 17.6 hours to make the 150 million kilometre (93 million mile) journey. It is believed that the relatively high speed of this CME (typical CMEs take several days to arrive at Earth) was made possible by a prior CME, perhaps the cause of the large aurora event on August 29, that “cleared the way” of ambient solar wind plasma for the Carrington event …” –from Link: “Solar Storm of 1859” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859 .. WP: CC BY-SA

Thus we have the 21-hour estimated travel time for today’s event, compared to the 17.6-hour travel time of the Carrington event. Based on speed alone, there is congruence that ups the ante re the possibility of a Carrington event tomorrow. This, however, is far from conclusive … a lot more like a long shot than a prediction.

Duration of the X-Flares

I do not have a statement about the duration of the solar event that caused the 1859 Carrington event. I note that the two X-flares so far today were short in duration, and this I feel to be encouraging towards a non-Carrington Earth impact, if the flares are Earth-directed.

Resonance Effect with Incoming M-class Flare Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)

However, there will be a resonance swell effect because of today’s M-class solar flare incoming CME, and this increases the likelihood of a greater geostorm.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-RELIANCE DURING A CARRINGTON EVENT

Responsiveness of NASA in 2012 Near-Carrington Event: Two Years Late in Alerted the Public

Wikipedia mentions there was a near-Carrington event in July 2012, and that NASA only shared this publicly in April 2014 …

“On July 23, 2012 a “Carrington-class” solar superstorm (solar flare, coronal mass ejection, solar EMP) was observed; its trajectory missed Earth in orbit. Information about these observations was first shared publicly by NASA on April 28, 2014 …” –from Link: “Solar Storm of 1859” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859 .. WP: CC BY-SA

From this I gather we cannot expect help from NASA real-time. In fact, quite the contrary. We must act with common sense to protect ourselves, our families, and our co-workers.

On Space Weather Information That Understates the Need for Preparedness

Along the same lines, NASA has posted a page about today’s two X-flares here …

Link: “Sun Erupts with Significant Flare,” by Karen C. Fox, at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, 11 September 2017, Editor: Rob Garner … https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/two-significant-solar-flares-imaged-by-nasas-sdo ..

The images on the page are excellent; I feel this is NASA’s forte, to offer precise scientific data on space events. However, there is a passage on the web page with which I take issue …

“Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.” (public domain, since this is a .gov site)

On the Inappropriateness of Disinformation or ‘Crowd Control’ Efforts by Government and News Media

This passage is typical of the soft-shoe, soft-peddling ‘massage the data’ disinformation so often found in the news these days.

The government of the United States has been set up by the people and for the people. We, the people, pay the salaries of our government employees, along with the monies to support their scientific explorations.

The purpose of our government science programs is to convey scientific facts to the American people. We deserve to hear the unadulterated truth, and not to be mollycoddled along like half-cooked breakfast eggs!

As to whether solar flares can pass through the atmosphere and affect us and the ground itself … It is true that our atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation. Nevertheless, solar flares can have a profound effect on our lives …

  • Moderate solar storms affect electric and electronic equipment.
  • Severe solar storms affect earth’s power grids.

Thus I suggest that our space agencies provide tips, or links to tips, on electric and electronic equipment protection, on staying away from power lines and power stations during geostorms, and on power grid failure preparedness, during geostorm alerts.

More on these topics can be found in the sections “Electric and Electronic Effects of Carrington Events” and  “Preparing for Power Grid Failures During Carrington Events” below.

On Acting with Common Sense During a Natural Disaster

Of course, this is true of any natural disaster or emergency: We cannot expect others to provide for us what we must necessarily do for ourselves. It is up to each of us to be prepared, and to help others who are less provident than ourselves.

The help that we get from our government arrives in due time, and for this reason, I count myself very fortunate to live here in America. Meantime, when natural disasters occur, let us keep a clear head and take action as needed.

This American Red Cross link will help your family develop a disaster preparedness plan …

ON JUDGING SOLAR STORMS FROM AURORAS THAT WE OBSERVE IN THE NIGHT SKY

One of the ways to know if a strong solar storm is occurring is by observing the night sky. During the 1859 Carrington event, for instance, auroras were seen as far south as the Caribbean. Here is Wikipedia’s description …

“On September 1–2, 1859, one of the largest recorded geomagnetic storms (as recorded by ground-based magnetometers) occurred. Auroras were seen around the world,

  • those in the northern hemisphere as far south as the Caribbean;
  • those over the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. were so bright that the glow woke gold miners, who began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning …
  • People in the northeastern United States could read a newspaper by the aurora’s light …
  • The aurora was visible as far from the poles as Sub-Saharan Africa (Senegal, Mauritania, perhaps Monrovia, Liberia), Monterrey and Tampico in Mexico, Queensland, Cuba, Hawaii, …
  • and even at lower latitudes very close to the equator, such as in Colombia …

“Estimates of the storm strength range from −800 nT to −1750 nT …” –from Link: “Solar Storm of 1859” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859 .. WP: CC BY-SA  [bullets and paragraphing are mine. –Alice]

Planetary K Index (Kp Index) and the Midnight Aurora Lines

Here are images relating the planetary K index (the Kp index) to auroras visible in North America and Eurasia. The higher the Kp index, typically, the stronger the solar event that is impacting Earth …

ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC EFFECTS OF CARRINGTON EVENTS

Unplug Electric and Electronic Equipment

Unplug electric and electronic equipment, as a shock wave can come through power lines that might adversely effect or even render useless this equipment.

Stay Away from Electric Lines, Power Stations, and Electric and Electronic Equipment

Wikipedia describes electric shock from telegraph systems during the 1859 Carrington event …

“Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph operators electric shocks … Telegraph pylons threw sparks … Some telegraph operators could continue to send and receive messages despite having disconnected their power supplies …” –from Link: “Solar Storm of 1859” in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859 .. WP: CC BY-SA

From this, I would suggest staying away from electric lines, power stations (in case of arcing or sparks), and electric and electronic equipment during X-flare events, and especially Carrington events.

PREPARING FOR POWER GRID FAILURES DURING CARRINGTON EVENTS

San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, Power Outages This Summer

In early July 2017, there was an explosion and fire at a Department of Water and Power plant in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, that left 140,000 customers without power for about 12 hours …

Link: “DWP still investigating cause of transformer explosion that left 140,000 Valley customers without power,” by Ben Poston and Dakota Smith, 9 July 2017 … http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-dwp-power-outage-20170709-story.html ..

The San Fernando Valley is very hot in the summertime, and the blackout occurred during a heat wave.

There has been another blackout in the San Fernando Valley (which is local to me) since then; this second Department of Water and Power forced power outage affected about 16,000 people for up to about 8 hours overnight. –from Link: “Over 16,000 Affected by Power Outages, Planned and Unplanned, from San Dimas to San Fernando Valley, posted 9:30 am, 30 August 2017, by Marissa Wenzke, Chris Burrous, and Lauren Lyster … http://ktla.com/2017/08/30/power-outages-planned-and-unplanned-frustrate-residents-from-san-dimas-to-san-fernando-valley-where-16000-were-impacted/ ..

Then there are the rolling blackouts that have been hitting California in 2017 …

My Extrapolation Based on the Above

I gather from the above that there are already power shortage issues and power station maintenance issues in United states urban areas.

Thus, from the above, and from other reading I have done, I extrapolate that, in the event of a Carrington event affecting the power grids in United States urban areas, there would likely be an interval of, say, from a week to a month, in which we might anticipate having only emergency power in hospitals and police stations, and none at all for consumers.

Then after that, we might having rolling blackouts (or would that be ‘whiteins’?) offering power at intervals throughout the cities.

Then after that we might expect power to slowly be restored to urban areas.

LAPD Circular Offering Tips on What to Do During Rolling Power Outages

I see also that the Department of Water and Power (DWP) has provided the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) with tips on what to do in the event of rolling blackouts (although DWP forecasts there will be no rolling blackouts) …

Link: “Rolling Blackouts Circular,” at Los Angeles Police Department … http://www.lapdonline.org/get_informed/content_basic_view/23511 ..

This circular notes that blackouts can affect these very important things that would affect public health and safety …

  • traffic signals
  • life-support systems, and
  • security systems

For preparation, they suggest, among other things …

  • Have flashlights and extra batteries on hand
  • Leave one light turned on; that will alert you when the power comes back on
  • Keep refrigerator doors closed, to avoid food spoilage
  • Have a battery-operated radio, for news
  • Have a non-electric clock, hand can opener, and extra blankets on hand
  • Check on elderly neighbors, or those who might be affected by loss of power to their home life-support systems [This might include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)  patients, for instance]

California Department of Water Resources Blackout Suggestions

The California Department of Water Resources has these additional blackout suggestions …

  • Do not call 911 unless there’s a real emergency
  • Stay hydrated
  • Slow down at intersections while driving; traffic lights may be out.

–from Link: “Flex Your Power” handout, California Department of Water Resources … https://water.ca.gov/LegacyFiles/pubs/energy/flex_your_power/flex-your-power.pdf ..

Alice’s Suggestions for Food Supplies and Cooking

  • Have canned food and gallon bottles of water on hand. Canned food, because of its water content, helps a person to stay hydrated. It requires no cooking, which is a plus in the event stoves are also not working.
  • Have a propane or sterno can camping stove on hand for cooking, or if you have an outdoor space available, have a sturdy solar cooker and barbecue grill with a supply of charcoal.

MY PREDICTION FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS OF SPACE WEATHER

I expect there will be a severe geostorm in the next few days, provided it’s true that this morning’s two X-flares are Earth directed. We ought not discount the additional … although very small … chance of a Carrington event taking place.

Take care, everyone, and best of luck in weathering our upcoming geostorm!

In love, light and joy

INFORMATION ON X-FLARES

Today’s X9.3 is among the two 14th most powerful solar flares recorded since 1976. Here is the list to date …

Link: “The Most Powerful Solar Flares Ever Recorded,” posted by Space Weather and based on a list compiled by IPS Radio & Space Services … https://www.spaceweather.com/solarflares/topflares.html ..

Wikipedia has information on large X-flares Earth has experienced. See Link: “Solar Flare,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flare… the section: Examples of Large Solar Flares

I note this section is already up to date with today’s X9.3 flare.

I note in the above descriptive section from Wikipedia that Earth has experienced X-flares up to X45 on 4 November 2003. That makes today’s flare look relatively insignificant! …

“In modern times, the largest solar flare measured with instruments occurred on November 4, 2003. This event saturated the GOES detectors, and because of this its classification is only approximate. Initially, extrapolating the GOES curve, it was estimated to be X28 … Later analysis of the ionospheric effects suggested increasing this estimate to X45 … This event produced the first clear evidence of a new spectral component above 100 GHz …

“Other large solar flares also occurred on April 2, 2001 (X20), … October 28, 2003 (X17.2 and 10), … September 7, 2005 (X17), … February 17, 2011 (X2), … August 9, 2011 (X6.9), … March 7, 2012 (X5.4), … July 6, 2012 (X1.1)…” –from Link: “Solar Flare,” in English Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flare … The section: Examples of Large Solar Flares

ALICE CLAGETT ON WEATHERING THE PSYCHIC EFFECTS OF SOLAR FLARES

Solar flares give rise to Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and solar wind, which strikes Earth, and cause geomagnetic storms. These storms affect Earth communications, power grids, aviation, and the human psyche.

As to the latter, solar storms can be tremendous opportunities for growth of each individual and of society as a whole. To take advantage of these opportunities, we must place our feet firmly on Mother Earth, aligning our electromagnetic field with hers so as to ride out the waves of incoming protons, as well as the geomagnetic storms.

It is a little like riding a bucking bronco … We would not want to be heading down while the bronco is bucking up, would we? If we feel disoriented, we can go for a walk. Feel the earth. Feel our breathing. Feel gratitude, joy, appreciation. Hug a friend. Offer a stranger a smile! Is it not wonderful to be alive in this time of New Beginnings for us all!

Suppose there were a big power regional power outage that lasted for a week? Well, might be good to store some drinking water and cans of baked beans, just in case. The upside? There would be no TVs. There would be no Internet. No cell phones. We could go out and meet our neighbors. Maybe have a block party. Maybe sit on the back porch together and sing songs in the evening. Look out for each other. Watch the sunrise. Watch the sun set. Feel the earth beneath our feet. Feel our own hearts again, beating to the rhythm of the universe.

Geostorm Preparedness – EMF Sensitivity – Preparing for Panic Attacks and Cognitive Dysfunction During Solar Events and Gateways . by Alice B. Clagett *

Geostorm Preparedness: As the Ascension process continues on Earth, more and more people are gaining EMF sensitivity. This increasing sensitivity to Earth’s electromagnetic field is causing an increase in suicide, murder, and traffic accidents during times of high Incoming Light … which is to say, during annual Solstices, gateways, Solar Maximums, and solar events.

For people with EMF sensitivity, I feel this blog may help prevent loss of life through suicide, murder, and traffic accident during ‘high Light’ solar events such as solar wind gusts, radio blackouts, and geostorms, especially geostorms that result from clusters of coronal mass ejections.

Dear Ones,

I feel this article may help prevent loss of life through suicide, murder, and traffic accidents during clusters of coronal mass ejections.

WORLDWIDE INCREASE IN EMF SENSITIVITY

In 2005, the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the increasing incidence of a phenomenon they term Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS). WHO referenced a survey of medical centers. Prevalence of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity was then felt to be just a few folks per million. They, however, found higher estimates among self-help groups …

Link: “Electromagnetic Fields and Public Health: Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity,” by WHO (World Health Organization), December 2005 … https://www.who.int/teams/environment-climate-change-and-health/radiation-and-health/non-ionizing/emf/hypersensitivity ..

As the Ascension process continues, this sensitivity to the electromagnetic force is affecting more and more people; but fortunately less severely than described in the WHO paper. In fact, we Lightworkers think of this phenomenon as a normal effect of the Ascension process. For us, it is a clair or enhanced ESP ability.

I, as a Lightworker, refer to this psychic gift as ‘EMF sensitivity’, leaving out the prefix hyper- … as I consider it not to be a negative aberration, but rather an Ascension gift … a benefit of the Ascension process here on Earth.

Many people visualize that EMF sensitivity manifests through human interface with man-made EMF fields, such as electronics, electrical appliances, electric and cable wiring in homes, and electric lines and towers in cities, and through-the-air broadcasting signals.

However, the overarching cause of EMF sensitivity is Solar Events such as solar flares, CMEs, and CIRs, and Gateway Events caused by the alignment of celestial bodies.  From an Earth-centric perspective, these Gateways include solstices and equinoxes, for instance. However, the alignment of celestial bodies other than Earth and our Sun also affect the human experience of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. (See my blog categories: Astrogeophysics – EMF – hologram  …  and …  Almanac: solstice – equinox – moon cycles )

These solar events heighten our Awareness of discordant or misaligned energy in our personal EMF fields. While it is true that the effect of these events on the human EMF is beneficial, as these events are clearing our EMF, the difficulty is that the clearing sometimes causes activation of people’s ‘fight or flight’ response …

Link: “Fight or Flight Response and Ascension,” by Alice B. Clagett, 28 August 2014 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-7Jc ..

This may result in anxiety, ‘cognitive dissonance’ (i.e., mental turmoil), or ‘acting out’ behaviors …

PREP WORK: SELF-EDUCATION REGARDING PANIC ATTACKS

Solar and Gateway Events can cause heightened anxiety. If no medications are on hand, the anxiety can escalate into panic attack, which can last for weeks. This is way not so cool … very wearing on the emotions … and completely avoidable.

As near as I can tell, everyone, every human being, will eventually begin to experience some generalized anxiety, and in some cases possibly also panic episodes as we become sensitive to Solar and Gateway Events in the process of Ascension.

Yet many, many people have … to date, in this lifetime … never had a high level of generalized anxiety. They have never experienced a panic attack. So when it happens they may think: I’ll just tough it out … Like I did. Or if a person sees that their spouse is having a panic attack, they may underestimate its severity.

Having read up on the topic, I am here to explain that panic attack is a serious event; for instance, it can lead to intense emotional suffering, as explained in this video …

Link: “Dealing with Anxiety and Panic Attack,” by DARE, 8 June 2009 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32K-rEIbBgE ..

If panic attacks escalate day after day, I have read there can be a sense of surreality so intense that a person has thoughts of suicide or murder.

The situation is more complicated for those with psychic abilities, and who are expressing the ‘fight’ form of anxiety, as this can lead to attempts at murder on the astral plane. While accomplishment of this intent depends on God and God alone, attempts along this line are way not cool. Those of us who are psychic must take care not to feel we are ‘above it all’. More than anyone else, we must take the necessary precautions.

REMEDIES FOR ANXIETY AND COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION DURING SOLAR AND GATEWAY EVENTS

Copper Fabric and Copper Clothing

In my case, I have found copper clothing and copper sheets to be the best remedy for panic attack and other cognitive and emotive disturbances during severe geostorms.

………………..
Sidebar: Cautions about Copper Fabric

Copper-impregnated fabric and copper fabric are widely promoted online and in stores to shield the human electromagnetic field and to protect handhelds and PCs from hacking. I feel that not enough science has gone into the results of using copper-impregnated and copper fabric as a shield for the human body to make clear what side effects there may be. I myself decided only to use these products during severe geostorms. I suggest you carefully craft your personal guidelines as well. Note also that I have no financial interest in these products.

(I feel these copper fabric products may also prove helpful with the endemic, new mental disease that I term ‘virtual psychosis’.)

Aluminum foil, I feel, is a second-rate alternative to copper foil that ought not be used except under duress, when the better remedies are not at hand.

Traditional Medical Drugs

If you know you are sensitive to Solar and Gateway Events, the usually recommended prep work would be to see your medical doctor, and also possibly to go to your alternative medicine practitioner for remedies.

If you feel there is a chance you might harm yourself or other people … as the medical profession might say, if you have thoughts of committing suicide or murder … then I feel it would be good to consult a medical doctor well in advance of the recurring Solar Maximums, with their frequent solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Preparation ought to be well in advance because of the length of time it may take to get an appointment and to get the prescription filled.

For anxiety, some medical doctors, for instance, will recommend the prescription drug klonopin (Clonazepam).  I think it is usually prescribed by a psychiatrist; or possibly a physician could prescribe it. If you decide to go this route, I suggest very short-term use of this drug, and only in emergency situations, as there are notable side effects of withdrawal, especially, apparently, withdrawal from long-term use … including some side effects that may persist for a long time, even if withdrawal is very gradual.

Alternative Remedies

It is possible that traditional medical anxiety remedies may be less effective for you than other sorts of remedies. In essence, it is up to you to find out what is best for you. Some alternative medicine practitioners suggest homeopathic or natural remedies for anxiety; for instance. Here are a few possibilities …

Herbs. The Hyland’s homeopathic remedies ‘Calms’ and ‘Kali phos’ are said to relieve stress, nervous tension, and sleeplessness. For other Hyland’s homeopathic remedies for stress, go to …

Link: Hylands Naturals … https://hylands.com/ … and search Products for the term: Stress & Sleep

Celery juice has been recommended by some herbalists to soothe the nerves; the juice of an apple, and a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, can be added for flavor.

Some folks recommend Passion Flower pills for anxiety …

Link: “Five Herbs to Calm Anxiety (Without Being Drowsy),” from Renegade Health, 30 March 2014 … https://www.foodmatters.com/article/5-herbs-to-calm-anxiety-without-being-drowsy ..

Then there are calming teas, such as Yogi ‘Relaxed Mind’ and ‘Kava Stress Relief’ …

Link: Yogi … https://www.yogi-life.com/en-US ..

Soothing Music. Music by Mozart, chamber music, or the calming music at the youtube channel “illume in essence” … https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs46S_Dy3L95X2qKrL-uRfA … may help.

Binaural Beats has many good videos on youtube. Their music only works effectively when used with stereo headphones, because it offers different sound tracks for each ear (and each side of the brain) …

Video: “Binaural Beats Anxiety – Powerful Calm Mind and Racing Thoughts,” by MendTheMind, 16 May 2014 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sySw8n_Yuc ..

Calming Yoga Exercises and Meditations. There is also a yogic exercise to tranquilize the mind, and to help it be peaceful; this can be used as an adjunct to traditional medical remedies …

Link: “3-Minute Meditation to Tranquilize the Mind . by Yogi Bhajan,” referral with comments by Alice B. Clagett … written and published on 7 October 2014; updated on 24 March 2022 and on 2 October 2024 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-6ik ..

Here is a yogic exercise to help prevent freaking out …

Link: “Meditation to Prevent Freaking Out,” taught by Yogi Bhajan on 6/7/76, at Sikh Dharma International … https://www.sikhdharma.org/meditation-to-prevent-freaking-out/ ..

COMMUNITY EDUCATION: SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES

Also, very good prep work is to read up on panic attacks. Here is some of the standard kind of info on panic attacks …

Link: “Anxiety: Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder,” in HelpGuide … https://www.helpguide.org/mental-health/anxiety/panic-attacks-and-panic-disorders ..

I feel that schools and churches would be a good place to educate the public about panic attacks, maybe with videos like those linked to in this blog, or maybe through personal sharing among the audience.

A wonderful event like that was held through the Lifetree Cafe … https://www.group.com/adult-ministry/lifetree-cafe-outreach/ … offered at the Presbyterian Church I attended in Florida Mesa, Colorado, in the summers for awhile during the Solar Maximum of Solar Cycle 24. My feeling was, I learned quite a lot from the presentation, and grew closer to the congregation as a result of the group sharing that followed. The whole thing took only an hour.

MILITARY, SECURITY PERSONNEL, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT: WEAPONS CONSIDERATIONS

Also, it is important to remove all weapons from your personal environment. There is a special consideration for the military, for armed security personnel, and for law enforcement officers, who must have weapons on hand to protect the public. They must learn the symptoms that herald the onset of panic attack, so that they may turn over their weapons to another officer before the panic attack takes place.

Because anxieties sweep through our unconscious minds and on to the minds of those who are in our thoughts, anxieties tend to sweep through families and work groups, all at the same time. That is something to keep in mind when planning prevention of emotion-based decision-making among armed security personnel. In the extreme instance, this can cause ‘acting out’ and what is known as ‘mass hysteria’.

The recent Jade Helm military exercises, which labeled California, Utah, Texas, Arizona and Colorado as potential ‘hostile territories’, seem to me to be examples of the need for all military personnel, including supervisory personnel, to have as much time off as ‘wellness time’ as they feel they need, during these times of great and joyous change.

Another example from a while back was the rash of killings of black men by police officers in Santa Monica and other places, followed by that May 2015 march on Washington, DC, by folks concerned about what went on. In other words, those who are in charge of the safety of us all need to take special care to be sure that their own state of mind is peaceful and well relaxed, so that they can help add to the calmness of those they are helping.

In a way, Gandhi might be a good role model for people supervisory personnel during these times. I saw a good example of this kind of behavior the other day, in the Bayfield, Colorado, parking lot where I have been doing my wash. Much out of the ordinary, there was a police car pulled up in the parking lot, right in my path to the front door of the laundromat. There was a medium-aged, physically fit man, handcuffed, standing in the parking lot with two police officers on either side of him. He was hurling abuse, over and over, at the police officers. As shocking as this incident was to me, I was nevertheless greatly comforted by the easygoing, courteous, gently humoring attitude of the police officers. I feel we are greatly blessed to have such good officers on our police force.

PREP WORK REGARDING MENTAL TURMOIL (MIND MUD)

Another important effect of Solar and Gateway Events is ‘mind mud’ or ‘peanut butter brain’ or ‘silly putty sensibility’, as some call it. Others call it cognitive diminution. Tom Kenyon calls it cognitive dissonance. You can read more about it here …

WHAT TO DO WHEN A SOLAR OR GATEWAY EVENT ARRIVES

If you are at home, stay there. Home is usually a pretty safe place to be, no matter what the mind may be telling us to the contrary.

If you own a weapon, lock it in a cabinet, put the key to the cabinet in a self-addressed envelope, and put the envelope in the nearest mailbox.

If you are with someone who you feel may become violent, then find a safe place for yourself, as close by as possible. Sometimes that is in a separate room, with the door locked. Sometimes it is going over to a neighbor’s.

If you are in a car, pull over onto a quiet street, stop the car, recline the seat, and wait it out for as long as it takes, till the mental turmoil recedes. When you drive home, take the surface streets, and drive with great care and attentiveness.

If you are on a freeway … this is one of the most dangerous scenarios. So first, call on your Divine protection. Then, very carefully, pull into the righthand lane, exit the freeway, then onto a quiet street, and proceed as above.

If you are at the office or at school, and the mental turmoil makes it difficult to work or study, then excuse yourself with a medical excuse, and go someplace nearby and quiet to wait it out. Right now is a difficult time for this, workwise and schoolwise, as work and school rules are very rigid, and most employers do not yet know the long and the short of the Ascension situation. I expect this will be changing pretty soon, and highly flexible flex time will be one of a number of strategies offered as a solution.

If you are out in the wilderness during a geostorm, then find a natural geostorm shelter …

Take care, be safe,
