    > There is still a possibility that we could reach G5 (Extreme) levels.

    An event like what happened this past May.

    Having 2 G5 events in the same solar cycle would be quite notable. Ref last night’s media presentation by the NOAA at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eBh5-uB77ns

      (I'm trying to understand this from a DR/fault tolerance perspective). Have any of you seen any impact to your computing and network systems. If yes:

      * what kind of impact (please detail)

      * what did you/your Org. do to recover.

      * what do you think should have been done.
