Bracing for a Solar Superstorm By James Hammett    Friday, 09 January 2009 http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=bracing-for-a-solar-superstorm "...solar storms (even smaller ones) take a cumulative toll on the transformers in our power grid. Transformers in the northern states need to be replaced more frequently than in lower latitudes." Next time I'm aurora watching I should park next to a substation and point a shotgun mic at one of those garage-sized transformers.   Storm DVD Benefits Greensburg By James Hammett    Sunday, 02 March 2008 "Severe weather season is just around the corner and the people of one Kansas town nearly wiped off the map last year are still putting their town back together. Now, storm chasers are using pictures and video from last year's storm season to spur the rebuilding process in Greensburg. It's a DVD with some of the biggest storms of 2007 on it, including the Greensburg tornado. Now the storm chasers who put it together are taking the money from the DVD sales and putting it towards Greensburg to help the town rebuild."
