| | | Severe Geomagnetic Storm | The approach of a severe geomagnetic storm, triggered by recent solar activity, has raised alarms over its potential to disrupt critical infrastructure. This storm, classified as a G4 on a scale to G5, could lead to significant issues like power grid failures, satellite navigation errors, and radio blackouts. | The storm's impact largely depends on how its magnetic field interacts with Earth's, but even the possibility of less severe outcomes necessitates readiness from power grid operators and satellite managers. Enhanced auroral displays are expected, visible in places much farther south than usual, offering a rare visual spectacle amidst the technological disruptions. | Economically, the consequences of such a storm could be considerable, affecting industries reliant on stable power and communications. The last similar storm in 2003 demonstrated the real-world impact, causing temporary chaos in power systems and highlighting the need for better grid protection against geomagnetic disturbances. | While this event might not reach the historical extremes like the Carrington Event, it still poses a significant challenge to our interconnected technological world, prompting discussions on infrastructure resilience and the integration of space weather forecasts into daily operational planning for critical services. | | Advertisement | Below is an important message from one of our highly valued sponsors. Please read it carefully as they have some special information to share with you. Dear Reader,
Jim Rickards here. As a former advisor to the CIA, the Pentagon and the White House… I feel it’s my duty to warn you about this coming election meltdown. You see, I believe Trump will win the election… But he will NOT be allowed to take power. And it’s all because of the information inside this book I’m holding in my hand.
 99.99% of Americans don’t even know this book exists. It’s published by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs… And it contains intel that I believe will play a critical role in the coming election meltdown. Click here to see the details because this coming election meltdown could trigger… A 50% stock market crash… And the final collapse of the US dollar. Regards, Jim Rickards Editor, Paradigm Press | | |

I’ve deployed the @arkansasguard to send Black Hawk helicopters and 100 guardsmen to assist Florida with anticipated search and rescue needs as Hurricane Milton approaches the state. These are Arkansas’ finest – and they’ll do our state’s finest work helping Americans in need. | |   | | | 3:58 PM • Oct 9, 2024 | | | | | | 38.1K Likes 7.45K Retweets | 1.37K Replies |

| | 5 Crazy Facts: | The largest trick or treat event is held in Anoka, Minnesota, often referred to as the Halloween Capital of the World. Some towns have "candy buyback" programs where dentists purchase excess candy from kids and send it to troops overseas. Not all candies are allowed in every household; some people have allergies to things like peanuts, so certain candies are avoided. Glow sticks and flashlights are popular accessories for trick-or-treaters to ensure visibility and safety at night. The average trick-or-treater visits between 10 and 20 houses during their Halloween outing.
