Day before yesterday I heard on the news that many locations in northern India were suffering from a large scale power outage.   What was shocking was that this accident left 300 million people without electricity.   Not 30 million,  but 300 million!   It is hard to imagine what that would be like.

Also,  a few days ago,  from afternoon until night,  a strong tropical storm crashed into the northeast part of the US,  including New Jersey and New York,  causing several hundreds of thousands of households to be without power and causing thousands of flight cancellations.   What an effect it had.   I wonder if these kinds of events have anything to do with the sunspot storm?
