Thanks for the heads up

I certainly hope we will, I sure could use a vacation from this silly shit."

That is why I'm already storing stuff in makeshift faraday cages.

Strap it to a metal pipe, or a radiator.

RE: Horizon: Solar Storms
You can do it but it isn't necessary. The faraday cage is designed to stop waves getting in and earthed or not it does that.
Myself, I do earth mine because it isn't a problem and even if it makes the cage 0.001% better I'll have all the help I can get.
