Not a solar flare but a coronal mass ejection. And while the subsequent G5 geomagnetic storm can do damage to various technological systems, it shouldn't be anything too bad.

I just looked it up on Wikipedia.
The extreme ultraviolet and x-ray radiation from solar flares is absorbed by the daylight side of Earth's upper atmosphere, in particular the ionosphere, and does not reach the surface.
What else should I know?
48ReplyYou should know that this wasn't a solar flare, but a coronal mass ejection. Look that up instead. No, it's nothing too bad either. The one in 1859 was a big one and some people got electrocuted at telegraph stations, but this ain't like that.
49ReplyElectrocuted? Or shocked?

Don't look directly at the solar flair
6ReplyIf the solar flare approaches you, do not engage with it
19ReplyLay down and pretend you are dead. This way the solar flare will most likely lose intrest and leave.

It's only 1 though. We need to talk with the sun about its flair.
It claimed it wanted to express itself, but the Crab Pulsar expresses itself every 0.8 seconds.
