Study Highlights Vulnerability of U.S. East Coast to Massive Solar Storms

A report by British insurance market Lloyd’s warns that a massive solar storm could disrupt power along the I-95 corridor between Washington, D.C., and New York City for months. Such solar storms, though rare, have the potential to release billions of charged particles from the sun, impacting Earth’s magnetic field and infrastructure. The study emphasizes the need for preparedness to mitigate the effects of these potentially catastrophic events.
