"By tomorrow" means 24 October? Strange that EM wave from the Sun
would take days to reach the Earth instead of 8 minutes :-D


It is not the electromagnetic radiation that causes the major problems. It is
the changed particles that make up the solar wind, which may be 'gusting'.

But Lyvim wrote "... we now have a massive wave of _electromagnetic_ energy and
particles headed our way. It's due to hit tommorrow." And even particles, they are usually relativistic, which means they would take at most hours but not days to reach us.


On the other hand, it's rather EM wave which is more harmful to satellites rather than particulars because charged particles are mostly deviated by terrestrial magnetic field whereas em wave is unaffected.
