A Bit Off of the Usual Topics, but….

3rd X-class solar flare in 24 hours is the most powerful for 6 years — and it may not be the last

A hyperactive sunspot recently unleashed its third X-class flare in under 24 hours. The X6 flare is the most powerful since 2017 and could be followed by equally massive explosions.

How many of us are prepared for even the slightest of power, food supply chain, or medical outages?

While certainly not likely, another solar flare similar to the Carrington Event…..could dramatically alter our lives as we know them!

For the "naysayers"….it's all bs until you're involved! memtb

Dang! My food supply is quite low at the moment. In fact, I don't know what we are going to eat tonight. There are not a great deal of good things happening recently. I'm blaming Joe B.

Scary stuff!
The Bible speaks of end of times but I always thought it would come about at mankind's hands.
Maybe not that way at all.

We've actually been working on prepping for this and other scenarios. We've been stocking a little at a time but you won't know if it's enough until the time comes.
Some people have their heads in the sand thinking it'll never happen and I hope they are right but we're somewhat prepared if they are wrong.

Please do not comment as so the forum boss will not delete it.

Everyone should watch the video Mark M posted. If you don't think SWHTF eventually please don't come knocking on my door when it does.

Us too, should make it a couple of years…..but, pretty lean years!

We're not as prepared, electrically speaking, as we should be…..but will be OK! memtb

And then you have the federal government trying to shut down Amish co-op in South Eastern Pennsylvania because they produce organic food source that the government cannot control says a lot

Much like buying or selling real estate, "Location - Location -Location", a huge determining factor in one's chance of survival….no matter how well "prepped" you are! memtb

We talked about whole house generators on another thread. I had a Kohler 20 KW generator installed in December. I now feel more comfortable about being prepared for almost anything. My generator just sits there, ready. And it's comforting when it fires up automatically, every two weeks, for a 20 minute "exercise" run. That just tests the system, and keeps the battery charged. The technician said he will return in three years to service the unit and replace the battery.
