Anybody have some storm/weather predictions for 2013?
For Niagara, I've got a feeling we'll be getting some heavy wind storms or thunderstorms, possible even a tornado. Over the past few years, I've noticed our late-summer wind storms have been increasing in both strength and number, although they seem worse to us than the city-folks since it whips across a field at us. That, coupled with the threat of severe solar storms this year, make me think we may have to batten down the hatches and break out the candles at least once or twice this year.
Thoughts?
I think that if a major CME or EMP were to happen, the Tesla designed generators and systems there might be one of the few working sites in North America.
Predictions are for increased storm and social unrest, good luck

The new permanent agenda item of the Science and Technology Subcommittee is an important opportunity to harness the effort of all Members to ensure coordinated global action,” comments Terry Onsager of the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Now that space weather has been elevated to a permanent place on the COPUOS agenda, it will be a matter of regular conversation among UN diplomats, scientists and emergency planners. This is important because, while space is no longer up for grabs, it is still true that in the realm of space weather almost anything can happen.
