Shared this with my regional group this morning. From Ben's live stream last night.



June/July next year is an excellent candidate for a really big geomagnetic storm.

Good morning Observers. Sun is getting fidgity. Lots of minor C class activity. Sunspots are moving off the face to the right, nothing incoming. Two large, almost huge coronal holes are facing earth. Remember what Ben said - rise is plasma density followed by a rise is plasma speed!
4.0 Mag earthquake on the US/Mexico border and a 5.7 is very active indonisia. Lots of activity there.
Lake Mead and Powell continue to drop.
Lowest cattle heard in US in decades. Feed prices and land to graze is pushing cattle herds down. Be prepared for sticker shock at the grocery store. Beef will be replaced by fish or chicken driving those prices up. US can print money, it can not print beef nor electric power. Some things are fixed.
