Preppers’ PING!!

This is not meant for 99.999% of preppers:

If you don’t even know what the Carrington event of September, 1859 is then don’t show you ignorance by comment your expertise on the subject.

Your opinion, please, Kartographer. In either 2003 or 2004 (forget which- Fall, anyway), there was a solar flare that exceeded X40. Either the Carrington event was even greater than this or our electrical systems have been hardened enough to withstand a lot more.

Which do you think (or some of both) or was electric utility just so unsophisticated that it wasn’t so unusual that it happened?

Fair enough. But REAL preppers would also be aware of the Carrington event of November 1866. At least the ones from Wyoming.
