Yes, I know this. I bet half of you don't evne understand what that says, or how a high energy particle beam (similar to a gamma ray) can affect electric materials. A geomagnetic storm (Aurora Aborealis AKA, the Northern Lights) is very possible. The minor disruption of satellies and rolling black outs, that last mere seconds are also possible, is what their saying. The powergrid will not be permanently affected by the neutrinos and the highly charged photons that are being carried by the suns energetic rays that are travelling towards Earth at 186,282.86 miles per hour, as that is the speed of light. The solar flares, however, are travelling about 6% of that.
