1.Mobile network will be affected
Scientists fear that due to the collision of this storm with the atmosphere, there may be a lot of movement. This collision can disrupt the satellite signal. It can also have a direct effect on radio signals, communication, and weather.
2.Air travel will also be affected

At midnight, rays of terrible fire emerged which were very terrifying and scary.
