Of course, that may be the main entertainment if the power grid, intennet, and other systems flake out. Many of our systems have evolved SINCE the last major storm and have yet to be really tested by a major storm. Currently, air flights are being modified and many comm companies are setting up alternative routes for signal flow.
So what's the worse can these solar flares cause and what should we do to prepare ourselves and our electronic equipment?
