Powerful Gamma-Ray Burst Made Currents Flow in the Earth
October 17, 2022 / Dr.Tony Phillips

Oct. 17, 2022: Astronomers have never seen anything quite like it. On
Oct. 9, 2022, Earth-orbiting satellites detected the strongest
gamma-ray burst (GRB) in modern history: GRB221009A. How strong was
it? It caused electrical currents to flow through the surface of our
planet. Dr. Andrew Klekociuk in Tasmania recorded the effect using an
Earth Probe Antenna:

This occurs with solar storms, but given this source is millions of billions of times further away it is interesting this had space weather effects.

I thought solar storms were mainly proton (i.e. charged particle) flux from the Sun. How do gamma rays create this VLF current flow? Is it just that they create a lot of ionization?
