I'm sorry to have to tell you this but the world of 1859 is not the same world we live in now.   We'll soon see if the Carrington Event back then equates to the end of civilization you seem to think will happen tonight.

You have a reading comprehension problem. I never said I thought there was going to be Carrington event tonight.And I never said anything about the end of civilization. You made that up. I said if there was a Carrigton event. I meant in the future. As for tonight... I am not worried about it at all.
