- Article Editor and Approved - Warren Miller(TheWeatherSpace.com) -- NOAA is warning of a geomagnetic storm sometime on Wednesday, which may knock communications and grids in some locations.
The Sun released a moderate-classed solar flare (M2) on Tuesday. This flare was a different kind because it started out slow, then the sun blasted it off like a volcanic eruption.
Satellites recorded this rare event (Video Here).
"This is the type of time where people should have their earthquake kits handy," TWS Senior Meteorologist Kevin Martin said. "There isn't much evidence, but it is a growing fact that solar storms trigger earthquakes here on Earth. Peru just had a magnitude-6.0 earthquake, and this usually means Baja and California are next in line."
Meteorologists are against Martin for his belief and stance that solar storms trigger earthquakes, but there is a growing amount of eyes that are being opened to the possibility it may actually hold weight.
