I don’t believe that’s how aquifers work.
Probably for a very long time…we live in a very remote area…in the wilderness of Maine…our county has never allowed commercial development…the only things here are camps/cabins/homes.
Luckily I have well water…probably some of the cleanest water on Earth…I’ve tested it several times with kits.
MAPS is doing great work!
Thank you for all of this information. 15-30 minute warning is meaningless in a worst case scenario. A substantial CME could be the end of most people on Earth so reliant on the electrical/electronic infrastructure. It would spell absolute chaos upon the western world. Probably, the only people that could survive this are ones that truly live off the land in almost every respect.
As far as I understand this, a large enough CME could send society back into the stone age. It could wipe out all electronics (the entire electrical grid, all computers, etc). What are we looking at here with this report?
EDIT: Found a quote from an article:
Friday afternoon, forecasters from the SWPC put out an alert for a G2 “moderate” level geomagnetic storm for both Saturday and Sunday.
This is a massive breakthrough that will benefit the entire planet. Great news!
Thanks for the clarification and other good points!
This is so sad…many impoverished human beings without access to proper nutrition nor the knowledge of it. So many things stacked against them. Please, consider making regular contributions to your local food banks.
Many people do unfortunately.
No worries.
