Must have melted a few cowboys and Indians as wellThere was one back in cowboy days that supposedly caused telegraph wires to melt
What is everyones thoughts about solar flare?
Looks like if this where ever to happen,there will be very few running cars,no communication with electronics,no news ect.
Sounds crazy but pretty scarey also.
Stop reading the pseudoscience doomsday blogs. Car electronics are well shielded and robust. Power grid absorbs flares regularly. Any flare big enough to disrupt a car will kill you anyway.
According to the show I watched,it said it could wipe out all electrical info like banks and such.
