Aparently as earlie as Monday the planet will be hit by a massive solar storm. The strongest in 100 years. I want to protect my laptop and external hard drive. Would lead boxes save my electronics. Please don't answer with disbelief. This is not a joke. I have already have a friend that can get me a lot of lead from tire balancing weights. Serious answers only. You don't have to believe it just help me save my information. This info I found on here and I researched by searching solar storm on google and i went to the NASA website.
