Strong solar storm could disrupt communications and produce northern lights in US

An unusually strong solar storm hitting Earth could produce northern lights in the US this weekend and potentially disrupt power and communications.
The storm could produce northern lights as far south in the US as Alabama and Northern California, according to NOAA.
The storm, ranked 4 on a scale of 1 to 5, poses a risk for high-voltage transmission lines for power grids, not the electrical lines ordinarily found in people’s homes.
