Is this a bit overdramatic or real?

1859?

[Mr. K]

I know what you mean- i could open a window in one room in the basement and insulate the walls, and I would have a walk-in freezer

[Larry Lucido]

Kinda hard to prepare for incineration. :-)

Well, maybe not. You could keep lots of popcorn and butter around....

[buccaneer81]

At least we'd have prayer in schools and 50 million less abortions.

And 250 million dead Americans within two years.

[ontap]

Well I for one am relieved to learn solar flares will kill me before global warming!!!

Grounding is a problem on satellites especially. Where do you bleed off the excess current? Modern aircraft can sustain lightning strikes, so obviously there’s a way.

[Steve Van Doorn]

"Is an X class flare what they used to call a CME or Coronal Mass Ejection? "

yes, it is just the larger ones that can effect the earth in some way. The last time this event took place that lasts about a year was in the 50's the aurora borealis was able to be seen as far down as Mexico. This time we expect to see a lot of nonoperational satellites.

Then there are Superflares which is extremely unlikely that we will see one of those. Which means the end of Mars atmosphere (oops it already happened)

Or at the very least, give you an erection lasting longer than 4 hours. If this occurs, see your doctor.

I wonder what the treatment is for this condition? I might want to get in on that!

[Mr. K]

Tonght were gonna party like it's 1859

November 9th, 2011........

In the rest of the world, that date is written 9-11-11.......

"We'd be thrown back 100 years."

Here's what 11th avenue is gonna look like in a couple of days:

[Johnny B.]

It is lathe and plaster in the inside, except the lathe is not wood strips, it is this thick metal screen

That might help, but anything you have plugged in to the A/C outlets, the phone lines and the cable TV cable would probably be fried.

[Red Badger]

...airplanes would probably crash without radar. ...

Oh, geeze, I guess if you want to crash a plane just shut off the radars all over the country...........

Class M______70%_________70%

Class X______10%_________10%

[Red Badger]

Please stay away from the Gulf Coast of Florida...........

[null and void]

X class eh?

Oh Noes!

Well, at least they aren’t Y class - those are killers.

Could be worse, a Z class makes zombies...

Even in 1911, they had telephones, telegraphs and rudimentary radio communications.

We'd be going back to 1811 for at least a decade until we could restore primitive early 20th century communications.
