Beyond "grid down" - Solar flares can also disrupt railway signaling systems and underground conduit pipes

(Natural News) Solar flares may negatively impact the planet’s power grids, railway systems, and underground pipelines through a phenomenon called geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), a recent study found. These effects may disrupt food logistics, manufacturing, electronic transactions and internet functions, experts warn. To examine how solar storm-induced GICs affect the planet’s structures, scientists at the National Aeronautics and...
