Massive solar events hit the Earth on average once every 100 years, so we are long overdue. The next one will be the first since electronics were invented.

I remember a near miss a few years back that was said to be powerful enough to melt the wires. Another knocked out a Canadian city, Quebec I believe, a few years ago for a while and yet another tinkered with some of our east coast not very long ago. It only takes one to mess up your life for a long time. Then...there is North Korea and the middle east. I would not be surprised if a Lear Jet at max altitude would not create a melt down of at least some big cities. Another guesstimate on my part. If this article is accurate then we need to be alert: israelnationalnews.com Nuclear EMP Attack """""""A nuclear weapon detonated at high-altitude, above 30 kilometers, will generate an electromagnetic pulse that can be likened to a super-energetic radio wave, more powerful than lightning, that can destroy and disrupt electronics across a broad geographic area, from the line of sight from the high-altitude detonation to the horizon. For example, a nuclear weapon detonated at an altitude of 30 kilometers would project an EMP field with a radius on the ground of about 600 kilometers, that could cover all the New England States, New York and Pennsylvania, damaging electronics across this entire region, including electronics on aircraft flying across the region at the time of the EMP attack. The EMP attack would blackout at least the regional electric grid, and probably the entire Eastern Grid that generates 70 percent of U.S. electricity, for a protracted period of weeks, months, possibly years."""""
