Errr we just had a close shave.....
Discussion
If the recent news was anything to go by we had a huge lucky escape in 2012.
It would have been terrible indeed and something like this would probably resulted in more deaths than all the wars put together. Working in a data centre and critical comms environment I think it would have been pretty much life over as we know it.
I know how had it is to source a basic power transformer, so to try and replace thousands. To repair a grid that was burned out and to try and recover from this sort of event would have been a nightmare of epic proportions

So the conduit may not have been the est of examples - however the actual news that triggered the story is worth reading and digesting. The risk associated with these events is indeed very real, and the risk of it occurring when it would have an effect on us is starting to sink in.
Its an event that would rip the fabric of normality from our life. If be believe it or not its not going to go away..... And it is going to occur. One day the sun will flare and we will be bombarded with high energy. Its a regular occurrence and a naturally occurring one at that, and its unpredictable...... wed have at most 24 hours warning.
Its worth looking into. Forget the sensationalist crap that was written about it and do your own research. Make up your own mind on it aswell.
National Geographic are not usually known for sensationalism ....
