Powerful Solar Storm Hits Earth, Affecting Hurricane Recovery Efforts

A powerful solar storm reached Earth on Thursday, potentially impacting recovery efforts for hurricanes Helene and Milton, according to NOAA. The coronal mass ejection (CME) arrived at nearly 1.5 million miles per hour, causing a G4 geomagnetic storm. This storm may disrupt communications, stress power grids, and degrade GPS services while creating visible auroras in southern regions.
