Verdict: mostly true — Trust Score 65/100

Openly AI-made video — graded on what the post actually says. The post accurately states that a solar storm was predicted to hit Earth in 2025, potentially causing geomagnetic storms, radio blackouts, power outages, and disruptions to satellites, cell phones, electric cars, and the internet. The claim that natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, and droughts are increasing is also supported by scientific data. However, the visual presentation and language used are highly sensationalized and emotional.

In 2,025, sun may hit earth with a solar storm. The solar storm can create a major disturbance in Earth's magnetic field field called geomagnetic storms that will cause radio blackouts, power outages, and satellites, cell phones, electric cars, internet would no longer work. The number of natural disasters is increasing, like hurricanes and tornadoes, and we are starting witnessing more droughts due to decrease in rainfall. Glaciers and snow packs are melting at a faster rate than they can replenish, which will result in significant changes in water availability for human consumption. The earth is spinning more faster than before, and every day it's moving faster and fast, and the days are getting shorter. The Earth's inner core has stopped spinning and may actually be reversing the direction of its rotation. --- On-Screen Text (OCR) --- Strange Things That Are Happening in The World Right Now 😵‍💫 😱 --- ©The COMET Program 2025 SOURCE PLATFORM: unclear --- Magnetic --- Blackouts --- NOAA 2 GOES-FLOATER RBTOP IR - OCT 6 16:15 UTC Phones --- Increasing --- Starting --- In Rain --- Melting --- Result --- Availability --- Spinning --- Moving --- Shorter --- May EAI ---VERIFICATION_SUMMARY--- Platform: TIKTOK Author: @mrvex_onyt --- HOW TO VERIFY THIS (provenance-first) --- 1.

Claims analyzed (2)

  1. verified: In 2025, the sun may hit Earth with a solar storm, causing geomagnetic storms, radio blackouts, power outages, and disrupting satellites, cell phones, electric cars, and the internet.
    Multiple sources confirm that a significant solar storm occurred in November 2025, causing geomagnetic storms and radio blackouts. NOAA and ESA reported on this event, noting potential disruptions to communication and satellite systems. The sun reached its solar maximum earlier in 2025, making major solar storms more probable.
  2. verified: Natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes are increasing, and droughts are rising.
    Scientific sources and reports from NOAA confirm an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, including hurricanes, tornadoes, and droughts, often linked to climate change. The U.S. experienced a record number of billion-dollar severe storms in 2025, and 2026 is also tracking above average.
