It missed us by 9 days

If one of these solar super storm hits us now, it would take out just about ALL of the electrical grid around the world, and the more advanced our technology gets over the years, the worse it will be if one hits us in the far future. The Earth's magnetic field can only do so much to protect us from it and the sun's magnetic field is so much stronger then the Earth's, there's not a damn thing we can do to protect ourselves from one of these storms. The only thing that could potentially offer ANY protection would be if we started building Faraday cages around ALL of our power plants and homes. But then that of course would also stop ANY and all radio or cell signals from getting in or out as well. So that would be VERY impractical and annoying. Lol.
