A large coronal mass ejection could send this planet into the medieval ages extremely fast

I disagree. Usually we get about 2 days warning that a CME is on the way. We should be able to stockpile food and fuel and shut down the electrical grid for the day that it hits. Everything would have to be off and it should survive as long as it is not connected to ground.

This should be no big deal. I am not an EE, but I do have a masters in physics and I also stayed at a Holiday inn last night.

JMO...Howver, when I said *large*, I was thinking along the lines of something 1000 times larger then any previous event we happened to be aware of.

Should be...lol....

Well, that is very impressive and commendable.
