My understanding is that these sorts of events are most dangerous to very long cables (miles long, like telegraph cables or power lines). Unless there's surges as transformers blow up, your electronics at home should be fairly safe.
- graderjs 6y agoI think that's only true for small events. Big ones destroy everything, like a global EMP. Plus there's the fires from exploding transformers and other stuff on the grid. But big ones are more rare. Maybe this 2012 near miss killshot drained our quota for the next century. Here's hoping. Still the sun is just now entering solar cycle 25, so the period of solar quiet is coming to an end.
