Strong solar storm hits South Africa

The South African National Space Agency (Sansa) has warned that a strong geomagnetic storm is expected over the weekend that can disrupt communications and navigation systems.

There was also a small chance it might cause the reappearance of the Southern Lights over South African skies.

Decent articles require people with a certain level of intelligence and in any case too many stupid people about, have to stoop to their level to catch their click.
