The 2012 Coronal Mass Ejection aka Solar Flare
Remember the Carrington Event above and how, if it happened today, we’d be f#cked? It almost did happen. In July of 2012, a solar superstorm came speeding our way, but missed us by less than a week.
Had it hit, the cost of damages would have hit the trillions and taken decades of recovery time to get over.
