I remember it. I just didn't think it was going to cost so little: "A similar storm today could have a catastrophic effect. According to a study by the National Academy of Sciences, the total economic impact could exceed $2 trillion" I know the article makes it sound like insane amount of money - and it is. But compared to what Covid-19 has cost the wold so far, that is small change.

Seems like the "experts" agree that a large coronal flare aimed at earth would be recognized in time to give the planet a good 8 hours notice. They also seem to agree that the problem of induced currents can be significantly curtailed by efforts at grounding. Grounding is not a technically difficult feat to accomplish. With adequate notice the electric grid can be shut down, grounding measures taken and the more cataclysmic prophecies largely avoided.
