a cme can and only will affect power grids!
your laptop and computers are not going to be affected as they all have ECM protection on the power supply unit!
The moment the electricity fluctuate too low or too high it shuts down.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19129594 Yep its the big power transformers on the electricity grids that would be at risk from a major CME because they are grounded and its the high ground currents from major CMEs that can overload transformers and cause them to fail. The coils inside can even melt, not an quick thing to fix! thanks for sharing this very useful info unfortunately their info is incorrect prepare as you will SOOO, should I just unplug stuff then or would it even matter?
