Its rated an X-1 which is pretty high but not massive. The ranking goes A B C M X then super X... if the X-1 hit us directly we would see power grid failures everywhere but this one is going to skim the outer northern edge of our atmosphere so no real worries.. But always be prepared incase the "experts" get it wrong......im not sure to how serious it is..but serious enough where im taking the needed precautions..in one link.they say it's not strong enough to fry electronics..but i figure.why take a chance...
i dont know about a emp or a cme setting us back to 5000 BC,but it'll definitely set us back before there was electrictricity..
and any vehicale with computer boards/chips will be worthless to me..on account,the compuerized parts will be fried..and so will be the power companys and the power grid.all this means no electric,no running water from water companys.no transportaion.no dileveries of any kind.all forms of communication,tv's ,desktop computers.all fried,and rendered worthless
and for those that are wondering what a emp or a cme is capable of doing..here's links telling about the 1859 solar flare.
