Title:
Down to Earth with an electric hazard from space: Lessons on the 100th anniversary of the May 13-15, 1921 magnetic superstorm

Author:
Jeffrey Love

Abstract:
On the anniversary of the magnetic superstorm of May 1921, sometimes known as the "New York Railroad Storm”, we consider its intensity and the impact it had on electrical systems of the time, especially telegraph systems operated by the New York State railroad. The analyses of the historical magnetic storms inform modern evaluations of the potential for future magnetic storms to disrupt the electric transmission network on which our modern society depends.
