Perfect Space Storm Could be Catastrophic on Earth, Study Concludes "Modern power grids are so interconnected that a big space storm -- the type expected to occur about once a century -- could cause a cascade of failures that would sweep across the United States, cutting power to 130 million people or more in this country alone, the new report concludes."
The fun part is their predicition that solar storm activity will peak in 2012.

Remember when your local weather report would just tell you what the temp was probably going to be and if it might rain tomorrow?
The more information we gain, the more information we find ourselves needing.
I was just thinking about the Yellowstone e-quake frequency and wondering if we will eventually end up having weather broadcasts that cover not only atmospheric conditions but also geologic and interstellar conditions.
And looking at how these things all affect the weather / events the more useless the local news reports appear to me.
