When this occured in 1859, from what I have learned, we had no telephone lines or any electronics yet, but we did have telegraph wires. And they started sparking and arcing all over the country, and starting big fires. Do you know what would happen today? With our computers running ouir inventory, ordering, stocking, of everything from gasoline for tractors, to tractor parts, to livestock equipment, to seed and fertilizer, to shipping to warehouses, to the stores, to our local gas stations. We are entirely dependent on electronics now. That predicted event would/will/could put us all out of business for a long time, until we replaced all the destroyed electronics. Personally, I don't think it will happen; it would have been predicted in the Bible, just like 9/11 was. But if there is a terrorist attack with an NEMP, it will wreck havoc in the affected areas. That is why I would LIKE to have a solar panel buried nearby, to protect it. It is not a priority, however. Just a thought.
