Quebecs power grid got knocked out in 1989 by a small CME. If one hits like the one in 1859 then yes every expert predicts no power for months, years, maybe decades.
Yep I'm a prepper, but the only thing I prep for is this scenario. Mayan 2012 doomsday is total bullshit, I don't believe in ancient aliens or any of that nonsense. Paraniod? Nope, I'm prepared so why should I be paranoid? I don't want it to happen but statistics say it will. I don't have a bunker dug in the backyard, don't belong to any prepper groups, and I laugh at the idiots on the prepper tv shows. Cost very little to prepare for a solar flare, so why not? Peace of mind is priceless.
