If I can be serious though predicting a massive solar storm like this 2 years out seems a bit dicey.
Given that we generally have a two day lead time from when NASA detects the CME and when it reaches the Earth, you're probably right.I think if we could disconnect the grid here and there, we'll be fine. The problem occurs when you have huge magnetic fluxes in the atmosphere, inducing current in the grid (just like how a pickup works :vince. Breaking up the giant grid into smaller ones will lessen the induced current, and might keep transformers / stations from overloading.

No, just that, if you MUST play, you play through your solid state amp during the wet Tshirt contest, in lieu of your high wattage tube amp:lol: So you're suggesting going with mini humbuckers in lieu of Blackouts?
