Scientists say an extreme solar flare is blasting its way to Earth and could mess up some power grids, satellites and radio transmissions.

This event is a X1.6. the carrington event in the 1800’s was rated X40. The one that took out the power in Quebec in the 1980’s was rated X15. While big, most likely not big enough to do anything except make a spectacular northern lights display.

I tried it, and it appears that they had some unusually heavy Internet traffic and/or a server problem. It worked again just now, though. Might need the “www,” too.
