From Northern Lights to Lights Out: How a Solar Flare Could Bring Stone Age II

The type of solar flare that brought us beautiful Northern Lights tonight could also trigger an Electromagnetic Pulse that could end the world (as we know it). Prepare now.

Tonight, June 1, 2025, promises something extraordinary: a solar storm that could light up the skies with a breathtaking display of auroras. I’m excited to witness this natural spectacle, but as someone who values preparedness, I can’t help but think about the potential dangers it might bring. A solar storm can be a beautiful gift from the cosmos, yet history—like the Carrington Event of 1859—reminds us it can also disrupt our modern way of life, especially the electric grid. Let’s explore this duality and why we should all be ready for a solar electromagnetic pulse (EMP).
