Scientists found that the level of carbon-14, an isotope of carbon, was much higher in rings from that year than usual. Some years later, looking at air samples from ice cores, scientists saw that there were elevated levels of beryllium-10 and chlorine-36 as well.
The common factor in all these elements is that they are created when extremely high-energy subatomic particles hit Earth's air and ground. .... The only way to get particles at energies like this is from space, where powerful magnetic fields in exploding stars...can accelerate the particles to such high speeds.
But the 774 event was so powerful that at first scientists were skeptical it could be from a flare. Once any other type of astronomical phenomenon was ruled out, though, a flare was all that was left
1989 the Sun erupted in a powerful series of flares as well as a huge coronal mass ejection (or CME) Carrying its own magnetic field, this bout of space weather slamme...d into the Earth's magnetic field, affecting it so profoundly that electric currents were induced under the Earth's surface. Called geomagnetically induced currents, this extra electric energy blew out transformers in Quebec and caused a power outage that lasted for hours.
February 1956 was the most powerful solar storm in the modern era, which was easily twice as strong as the 1989 event.
Using various methods to characterize the 1956 storm, including measurements in visible light, radio waves, changes to the Earth's ionosphere (a high-altitude layer of ionized air that, when it changes rapidly, can affect magnetometers on the ground that measure magnetic field strength), and more, they found the 774 AD event was a staggering 30 to 70 times stronger. This means it was likely 100 times stronger than the one in 1989.

I’ve gotten to the age where I can hardly speak English.
I had 2 years of HS Spanish in 1972 and if I’m ever in a Spanish speaking country and need to say ‘Let’s got to the library!’ I got it covered................
Biggest storm in 10,000 years?
● Gothenburg Event ~12,000 years ago
● Lake Mungo ~25,000 years ago
● Mono Lake ~36,000 years ago
● Laschamp Event ~47,000 years ago
● Vostok Core Event ~60,000 years ago
● Quaternary Mass Extinction Toba ~72,000 years ago.
● No events identified for next 2 theoretical intervals 84k and 96k but then there’s . . .
● Blake Excursion ~110,000 years ago.
About right for a 12,000 solar micronova cycle...
Did anyone living at the time notice anything unusual?
I just want band conditions to improve.
Dunno
But there is this (as pointed out by Mr. Civ)

Maybe, kind of like the northern lights every night, a big burst of radiation might trigger some kind of pyrotechnics in the sky.
Do you mean William the Conqueror? Of course you did.
SYFY making a new disaster movie without sharks for a change?
I said what I meant.
Well, if you constructed it correctly you are at least protected against anything up to a 155mm howitzer.
“That’s no moon...”
There is nothing like growing up called Bastard to make you want to change your name to Conquerer. I wonder what they called Putin as a kid?
