couldnt watch this video on the day as my mobile internet dongle connection was BLOODY AWFUL.

my solar panel still works though.

this is a rather minor event for the general public, but for power companies and the like, it's something they can't take lightly as they have to manage their grids to prevent multi-million dollar transformers from developing damage in these kind of events. if you all want to know what happens on earth in a major flare, take a look at the 1859 solar flare. it'll REALLY get you talking, especially when one back then could see aurora in Hawaii.
