Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms?

The dangers of these storms has been minimized by the press. Large magnetic pulses the hit exposed power lines will create electric currents. Take a quick read of wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event to get the idea. Call me super cautious, but I will take a short listening vacation for another day until the level drops below K8. www.spaceweatherlive.com.  If you are into the details you cab read about the current event here: www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/auroral-activity/magnetometers.html

My DVR lost it's ability to record causing me to miss Saturday Night Live.  It now works fine again after a reboot.

Whenever there’s a large thunderstorm, I unplug everything, but I have rarely unplugged everything for a solar storm.
