Obviously, your lawnmower and SUV caused this to happen.

"Black Hole Sun"
Soundgarden, 1994
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you
Scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you
Anymore
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear

Sure sounds like it. An X-Class flare aimed right at us is fairly unusual. Might even fry a few things in northern latitudes, has before. If it looks that bad and they see it coming with more than a day’s warning, I’ve often though an intentional grid-down in threatened areas and strategic disconnect of certain electrical and electronic components would spare a lot of damage and expense. Some here would dispute that this would have any value.

Shoot, now I want to hop a plane to Iceland or Yellowknife for the weekend to see the auroras...
