we didnt have it for a week, i was only 4 tho, i dont remember much.
it was pretty much chaos everywhere. pretty sure some people died
Edit :just looked, 35 death, 995 injured. costed 5.4 billion dollar in damage
When I lived in Montreal, we would lose power all the time, and for ridiculous reasons including an earthquake and a geomagnetic storm.

Maybe I've been getting lucky, but I haven't ever been without power for more than a day. Not that I can remember anyways. I've even been through 3 hurricanes and didn't lose power.

What's electricity? I have an adobe hand-made hut in the woods I sleep in, I eat from my garden, start fires for warmth, and leave my hut and go play in nature with other hut people when the sun is out, like normal sane people. I have never heard of this electricity you speak of....is it mystical? Why does having no electricity lead people to confusion and boredom? This electricity you speak of sounds evil, please stay away!!! Why do people need this mystical evil magic you speak of to be entertained? I know nothing of it. I'm not even typing this right now.
Please explain more of your strange ways of life to me?

An earth facing solar mass ejection/ coronal flare could knock of electricity system globally at any moment.
Prepare for survival without electricity now.
Be warned, it won't be easy.
I myself have been prepping for years and still have so much more To do

Yes I absolutely am!
I loved that movie and was so jealous / admiring of his bunker set up.
Having a similar set up is a top priority of mine and I fully intend to construct a full underground bunker / bomb shelter ASAP .
@koods- crazy stuff . And that one happened before the modern electrical and Internet grid we have now. If, God forbid, a similar or worse event occurred today the result would be apocalyptic.
We have already had some close calls where the solar flare just happened to be headed away from earth.
It's shocking humanity hasn't done more to prepare for an inevitability that is also an existential threat To human civilization, especially considering that hardening the grid is something we already know how to do.
