That really massive solar flares are rare - but can occur.
That it has happened in the past (1921).
That massive power and communications outages are expected on a global scale.
That such events can be considered a major disruption compared to 1921 technology and today's standards of technology.
That we are going into a period of greater solar activity - by default of the naturally occurring 11 year solar cycle - now that we are in the 'upswing' of this very same cycle.
