We're over due for a Carington Event sized solar storm.
There's currently a sunspot bigger than the one that caused the last storm.
Supposedly it's so large you can see it with the naked eye, assuming you saved your eclipse glasses and wear them.

How prepared are we if this happens? Should we be more prepared? What can individuals do?
If we detect a flare heading our way, how much time do we have as notice? If it its the Earth during night, will the entire planet be screwed or just the day side of the planet?
