Earth braces for biggest space storm

Washington – The biggest space weather storm in five years is hurtling toward Earth, threatening to disrupt power grids, GPS systems, satellites and airline flights, experts say.

My first (shallow and unenlightened) response to this news was “Bring it on!”. The thought of being able to stay away from work for a few days – with no access to cell phone, internet or email – is divine! I can chill – sleep, read, sleep, read, play with the kids, sleep, read…….!!

I am fully aware though that I may be eating my words over this if it does happen!
