There's going to be some strife, but we will survive. I'd not want to be in a city when it happens - and it will happen. There is a 100% chance that it will happen. It's what stars like ours do and we are terrifyingly close to it. Humans are a bit like cockroaches, so we will survive. I don't have enough information to predict population losses, but it's going to get ugly for a while.

If I know it's coming, I'll just disconnect from the grid and turn the solar panels over and put the brakes on the turbines before flipping the breaker and killing the power to everything.

The whole purpose of the noaa space weather prediction center is to give you an early warning over CME. If a big one were to be on its way you would know about it, everyone would know about it.

Sounds like you're prepared! I hope we get some warning (we should); So we can take as much offline as possible.

A CME fucking up your things is on the least of our worries. You should be more worried about nukes. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/
