Ah yes how easy it is to disrupt life-without electricity our society would collapse, within days riots at the supermarket. within a week societal breakdown, all that is needed a solar flare with a big coronal mass ejection short-circuiting our electric network, meanwhile we just crossed the Perseid meteor stream again without any big hits.
