    Check it out! Technology survived a Carrington Event

    Nope, that wasn’t remotely powerful enough to be compared to Carrington.

    For such an event, we’d have to take preemptive measures to protect our power grids by mostly shutting then down and cutting various interconnects temporarily until the danger had passed, for example.

      if you watched the video, your point seems to be demonstrably untrue, as what hit us this week, the video author is saying, was the same size and category 5 solar emission that The Carrington Event was, and we didn’t experience any disruption to our satelites, or electrical grid at all, probably because we were prepared for it, which is as interesting as it gets. you’ve got a no true scottsman fallacy working in that tiny little brain of yours, and it’s amusing seeing you parade it for all to see, lol.
