Reply to comment by StaleCanole in If a solar flare were to wipe most if not all technology, what plans/countermeasure could be taken to slow rebuild things like the internet? by Zak_the_Reaper
It's not the actual solar flare you worrie about. It's the tail and whipping effect of the magnetosphere and ionosphere. A large enough solar flare would cause these two two parts of earths defense mechanism to become incredibly unstable and thin. Not to mention solar forcing and the ionized particals to enter and exit the earths ground.
