According to a study by MetaTech Corporation: if a storm with a strength comparative to that of 1859 were to strike today,  up to 350 transformers would be broken and 130 million people would be left without power in the US. It could take 4 to 10 years and more than a trillion dollars to repair the damage.

A massive coronal mass ejection headed directly at Earth due to the solar flare and made it within eighteen hours — a trip that normally takes three to four days.
