Go google a bit mate. The chances are low but the consequences would be enormous if we had a really big solar flare.
Your one or two cities having no power is nothing like half the planet with nothing for months.......
And that's all I said - a big big solar flare would be terrible. That's all I said.

So they briefed the government. I bet the government in Oz got briefed on ebola and meteor impact sink holes and all sorts of very low risk things.

Very LOW risk. Like, it's happened twice in two hundred years and almost nothing of consequence was the result.

And I said: they happen all the time -- what's your point. It seems to be "it might happen therefore we should all freak out about it". It's all very alarming.

One or two cities having the population of your entire country yeah pretty weak.

Still don't know the age of the kids
