Solar storm warning: Sun ejects 50,000 mile-long ‘canyon of hot plasma

Sooner or later we are going to catch a big one like The Carrington Event – aka the solar storm of 1859. When we do the major nations may be without power for years maybe decades. It would fry every transformer and station beyond repair. It would take a looooong time to replace them. We don't have the ability to do that in any reasonable time and things will be collapsed possibly beyond redemption. Our current civilization is far more fragile than people realize.

One of my biggest fears.
