A massive solar flare event is happening, with a prediction of impressive northern lights tonight, possibly as far south as Alabama. These events are known to cause problems for electronic communications, but a total blackout is not likely. However, such an event would be an excellent excuse for an orchestrated blackout to occur, to allow a lot of things to happen without radio, television, telephone, or internet "interference" in whatever operations might be happening. :)
