I’m not sure if you have any more lurking about the geo-magnetic storm stuff here but the whole grid – as in all of North America – could likely go down if hit with a big enough solar storm. ANd not just for a temporary bit but up to years. Here’s one link but there are a bunch of others I can provide…
