It happens every once in a while.

There is NOTHING you can do about it, except to figure out how to live without electricity.

The bigger issue is if something impacts the magnetosphere, stripping away the magnetic protection. This is what protects us from the particles coming at us.

Then we are the frog not in the pot...but in a microwave.

We’re worried about an Iranian EMP attack (when we should zap Teheran first), but just one little hiccup from Helios and it’ll be Flintstones for all of us.
