Just put this into perspective...sunspot 1936 was a loooot smaller than 1944 is and it put out an X1 flare as it departed the eastern limb. So I don't have too much doubt that 1944 harnesses the energy necessary to make the electricity go bye bye for a while. |

The flare is just fancy fireworks. What matters is the cme produced. "All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing."

The famous event in the 1800s was apparently about an X40 or more, so it would take something that big I'm guessing. An X20 might cause some short term issues though. |

X60 flair or better with a big CME. That ought to cause some havoc! Carrington was X45 with a precursor.  Last Edited by Maguyver on 01/07/2014 02:13 PM Adversity is inevitable, misery is optional.
