The March 1989 geomagnetic storm occurred as part of severe to extreme solar storms during early to mid March 1989, the most notable being a geomagnetic storm that struck Earth on March 13. This geomagnetic storm caused a nine-hour outage of Hydro-Québec's electricity transmission system. The onset time was exceptionally rapid. [1]
The geomagnetic storm causing this event was itself the result of a Coronal Mass Ejection on March 9, 1989. [7] A few days before, on March 6, 1989, a very large X15 solar flare also occurred. [8] At 2:44 am on March 13, 1989, a severe geomagnetic storm struck Earth. [9] [10] The storm began on Earth with extremely intense auroras at the poles.
[citation needed] This can result in events such as the March 1989 geomagnetic storm. CMEs, along with solar flares, can disrupt radio transmissions and cause damage to satellites and electrical transmission line facilities, resulting in potentially massive and long-lasting power outages. [38] [39]

A geomagnetic storm, also known as a magnetic storm, is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a solar wind shock wave. The disturbance that drives the magnetic storm may be a solar coronal mass ejection (CME) or (much less severely) a corotating interaction region (CIR), a high-speed stream of solar wind originating ...
