Same text at spacewether.com

MAJOR FLARE WARNING: Sunspot AR2860 is big, angry, and it’s directly facing Earth. The active region just unleashed a significant M4.7-class solar flare (Aug. 28 @ 0611 UT), probably hurling a CME toward Earth: movie. If current trends continue, a major X-flare could be in the offing, so stay tuned.

A big enough solar flare, especially if the magnetic polarity is in the southward direction can cause overloads in power systems

A flare in March 1989 blacked out Quebec for number of hours overloading the lines

The title at the website is a bit hyperbolic - grin. The exclamation point makes it seem like armageddon. Still interesting though for space geeks.
