4 X class solar flares to impact this weekend.

Maybe I'm just not in a zone that gets hit by these things (?) but I have never had a single piece of electronics be affected by anything but car accidents, bad weather or lightning strikes.

Why put extra worry into your life about something that you can't change or stop from happening?

If something from space affects your life in any way you're not going to be the only one. It's going to affect everyone equally.
 
Will this make sunburns worse? Not even joking though is that a thing?

Edit: What I've learned: Light arrives to us in 499 seconds and that's when you'd theoretically get burned. Solar storm arrives hours later.

Yeah, I think I’m opening the breaker to the grid before I go to work in the morning. Probably the best thing to do. I’ve got one big house surge arrestor for what ever that’s worth.

I'm not that worried about it, I have some surge arrestors as well. I see zero negatives of disconnecting the breaker.

If you could mitigate the risks/ impacts from something that you can't stop from happening, why wouldn't you?
 
Keep extra batteries for your phone in a safe place or purchase a solar-powered or hand crank charger. These chargers are good emergency tools to keep your laptop and other small electronics working in the event of a power outage. If you own a car, purchase a car phone charger because you can charge your phone if you lose power at your home.

I plan to go into a subterranean bunker and become a morlock in 100k year. You can come visit if you bring the right two books and invent a time machine.
