Apocalypse Alert System Goes Live As NASA Issues Dire Warning!

"NASA has released a surprising new warning suggesting scientists may have underestimated how
severely an extreme solar storm could affect Earth. Researchers say a powerful space weather even
t could disrupt satellites, GPS navigation, communications, and portions of the electrical grid, while admitting there may be no clearly defined upper limit to the planet’s response.
NASA's Gddard Space Flight Center are warning that miscalculations and false assumptions may have resulted in an enormous underestimation of the worst case effects of a solar storm. NASA scientists are now saying there may be no such limit to the destructive energy that could rain down on the world. They derive that suspicion from more than a million data points where solar wind was gauged by NASA craft in Earth's orbit."
