We're moving into Carrington Event Territory, where copper wires caught fire, and buildings burned. If that hits us again this cycle, electricity on the side facing the sun will be gone for years. A stronger event will wipe out electrical equipment around the entire globe.

That was from a different cause resulting in different effects from a magnetic flip.

The Carrington Event was a CME (coronal mass ejection) that hit earth while our magnetic field was near full strength. As our 'shield' continues weakening, a CME of the same strength today would cause far more damage, because completely opposite to then, most people today depend on electricity to stay alive.

Food and water supplies require electricity. Vehicles and transportation require electricity. Communication past 500 feet requires electricity.

I know a lot of people like surprises. But for those who check local weather forecasts to plan ahead, following current events in space weather to see what may be coming our way is a natural extension.

Those living in areas so overpopulated that they're called cities or suburbs are probably better off not knowing, as the end of electricity is effectively the end of them.

As our 'shield' continues weakening

Fair point to combine them.

people today depend on electricity

Huge point - and the interwebs. The ruling class use cyber war and rolling brown outs as weapons.

Ah, ECC = Earth Catastrophe Cycle. TIL. Thanks.

These folks will survive:
