The Carrington Event preceded all that flooding…..
August 28, 1859 - September 1, 1859: A series of solar flares occurred, and for the first time, sunspots and solar flares were observed on the sun with auroras seen around the globe. On September 1, astronomer Richard Carrington watching the sun on his telescope, he noticed the sunspots followed by intense flares. Within 60 seconds, they had already faded. Interesting this had occurred just when they were working to get telegraph cables working, and right before the start of the warwhich the current Antichristthe bishop of Rome–and his financial advisor Rothschild was financing in the South. Hm…..
Friday, September 2, 1859: The earth's magnetic field was affected, the coronal mass ejection having reached Earth 17.6 hours after the solar flare, faster than the previous 3 or 4 days as the preceding one of that series, this one having traveled in its wake, easing its journey. The magnetic storm shot electric currents through telegraph lines and disrupted communications over Europe and North America, even shocking some telegraph operators and setting their papers afire. Even those disconnected from the system continued transmitting messages. Auroras were seen as far south as the tropical areas like Cuba, Jamaica, El Salvador, the Bahamas and Hawaii, so bright over the Rockies, they roused gold miners from their sleep, believing it to be morning, who began preparing their breakfasts. The light was bright enough to read.
Saturday, September 3, 1859: The Baltimore American and Commercial Advertiser:
“Those who happened to be out late on Thursday night had an opportunity of witnessing another magnificent display of the auroral lights. The phenomenon was very similar to the display on Sunday night, though at times the light was, if possible, more brilliant, and the prismatic hues more varied and gorgeous. The light appeared to cover the whole firmament, apparently like a luminous cloud, through which the stars of the larger magnitude indistinctly shone. The light was greater than that of the moon at its full, but had an indescribable softness and delicacy that seemed to envelop everything upon which it rested. Between 12 and 1 o’clock, when the display was at its full brilliancy, the quiet streets of the city resting under this strange light, presented a beautiful as well as singular appearance.”

“In the 160-year record of geomagnetic storms, the Carrington event is the biggest."
