Our field technicians/line crews used to carry special gear with them in case of sudden blow outs and electrical arcing from the lines.  I was on the phone with a technician one day when a solar flare caused arcing that set someone's building on fire.<br/><br/>That's just a heads up of how real solar flares actually can get.
