Rare solar storm hits Earth

One of the most powerful solar storms in years left its mark on Earth on Thursday morning.

According to the Globe and Mail there has been no evidence of problems with power grids and satellites thus far.

A scientist from the NOAA forecast center stated that a solar storms potential to interfere with technology cannot be ignored.

It has the potential to interfere with Earth technology through magnetic, radio and radiation waves.

In 1989 a solar storm shut down a power grid in Quebec which left six million people without power.
