(Before It's News)

>>> BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW NOW, IT’S WORTH WONDERING HOW LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF A SUNSTORM HAD NOT BARELY MISSED US BACK ON JULY 23rd OF 2012. IT JUST AIMED AWAY FROM PLANET EARTH AT THE LAST MINUTE. IT CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEING THE WORST IN 150 YEARS. AND REMEMBER BACK THEN WE WERE DAYS AWAY FROM THE LONDON OLYMPICS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. ACCORDING TO NASA, PHYSICISTS ARE JUST NOW REALIZING HOW CLOSE WE CAME TO GETTING CLOBBERED BY WAVES OF SOLAR ENERGY, A MASS EJECTION OF CLOUDS OF THE SUN’S PLASMA, THAT WOULD HAVE CRIPPLED SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS AND THE POWER GRID. THAT MEANS BLACKOUTS, CITY WATER SYSTEMS, TRANSPORTATION, HEALTH AND MEDICAL FACILITIES. SCIENTISTS SAY WE WOULD STILL BE PICKING UP THE PIECES IF IT HAD. -Brian Williams #NBCNIGHTLYNEWS
