Official NOAA Warning:

On Thursday, May 9, 2024, the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch. At least five earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed and expected to arrive as early as midday Friday, May 10, 2024, and persist through Sunday, May 12, 2024. Several strong flares have been observed over the past few days and were associated with a large and magnetically complex sunspot cluster (NOAA region 3664), which is 16 times the diameter of Earth.

*please, if we're going to have a Carrington event, I'd like to get home from yet another trip hauling people to/from LAX, thank you.
19 hr 3 min to walk that sucker... 49.2 miles. Most I have walked in a day is 20 miles, and that sucked. So... make that a 3 day trip, with water and people who have lost their minds the biggest issue, LOL.Hit the nearest bicycle store or find someone who'd sell you a bike and make it a 5 hour pedal... #contingencyplanning (not seriously worried about this, but always fun to think out scenarios).

@ai6yr reminds me of that Steven Wright joke:
Everywhere is walking distance
