Changing magnetic fields induce currents which can lead to Blackouts. Engineering faults can also occur in pipelines and can become electrified.
Pigeons and other creatures can also suffer due to biomagnetic changes. Pigeoneer also reported that they faced a reduction in the number of birds coming back home due to magnetic changes. Authorities advised people to have backups such as batteries and flashlights in case of a blackout.
The last vigorous geomagnetic storm occurred more than a century ago in 1859, it was named Carrington after the astronomer Richard Carrington. Telegraph technicians suffered electrical shocks and their telegraphic equipment was also set on fire due to the changing magnetic field.
