A massive geomagnetic storm is under way in the US — caused by strong eruptions from the sun capable of disrupting America’s electrical grid and producing northern lights as far south as Alabama and northern California on Sunday night.
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center issued an alert for the electromagnetic storm after satellites picked up a solar flare earlier Sunday.
Although the storm was originally rated as a minor G1 or G2 storm on NOAA’s five-point scale, the solar phenomenon has been upgraded to a G4 storm in the ensuing hours.
