We are currently experiencing geo-magnetic storms caused by the sun.
These can destroy electricity and communications infrastructure. Just last week we had a power outage from Nicaragua to Colombia for over 12hrs! The largest storms that result from these conditions are associated with solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) where a billion tons or so of plasma from the sun, with its embedded magnetic field, arrives at Earth. CMEs typically take several days to arrive at Earth, but have been observed, for some of the most intense storms, to arrive in as short as 18 hours. Another solar wind disturbance that creates conditions favorable to geomagnetic storms is a high-speed solar wind stream (HSS). HSSs plow into the slower solar wind in front and create co-rotating interaction regions, or CIRs. These regions are often related to geomagnetic storms that while less intense than CME storms, often can deposit more energy in Earth’s magnetosphere over a longer interval.

Thank You - @blueorgy

Thank you blueorgy ... your help is hugely appreciated!
Have a really wonderful day!

for your trouble

Wtf, this should be fun right?

How can something be magnetically charged?
