Welcome to our deep dive into one of the most powerful space weather events in history: The May 1921 Geomagnetic Storm, also known as the New York Railroad Storm. While the Carrington Event of 1859 is often cited as the most extreme solar storm ever recorded, the 1921 storm was nearly as intense—and potentially more dangerous due to its effects on early 20th-century technology.

• What caused the 1921 geomagnetic storm
• How it disrupted telegraph lines, railroads, and early communication systems
• Why a similar solar storm today could cripple power grids, satellites, and GPS
• Comparisons to the Carrington Event and modern-day risks
• The role of space weather forecasting in preventing a global tech blackout

📍 Auroras were seen as far south as Texas, California, and Puerto Rico💥 Railroad signals caught fire in New York⚠️ This storm is a major warning for our modern digital world
