Ok all of Quebec but that's about 1/8 - 1/10 the size of all of North America. The 1989 solar flare was monstrous and people not knowing much about it where scared the world would suffer from it. Who cares if the power goes out for a few hours. Where I live, hurricanes can take you out of power for days, possibly a week or two even.
