io9, a sci-fi blog (and sister site to my favorite blog ever, Lifehacker), writes about coming solar storms and their potential to knock out electronic systems. If it seems far fetched, it's really not. We've already seen storms like these - 20 years ago, they knocked out Canada's power grid. I can't imagine that there are a lot of shielded systems around today capable of dealing with something like this.
