To model one of the most extreme scenarios, simulation officers drew inspiration from the infamous Carrington event of 1859, the strongest geomagnetic storm ever recorded.
The exercise replicated the effects of a catastrophic solar storm on satellite operations to test the team’s ability to respond without satellite navigation and under severe electronic disruption.

Parker solar probe detects large x class CME
World turns off the power grid and waits for it to pass

TLDR: Nope.

So is possible that we can get toast like a peach. I saw that once on a movie I didn’t know it can happen.

I wonder if cloud cover works as protection for those sort of thing

Bring on the big wipe! Let us make fire and talk about the days where Lectons made magic happen.

I think (could very wrong here), its depends on which side of the earth is facing and the angle of the radiation exposure. The Earth’s magnetic field remains, very distorted much intact, no?

Of course not that would be terrible lol

Hah, we’re not even prepared for the next pandemic. In fact, we’re going backwards
