This will resolve to 'yes' if A) we experience a solar storm AND B) the radiation knocks out a power grid anywhere in the world. I'll need to see sufficient evidence of B to be certain it wasn't something related to human error or coincidence. The best evidence would be _several_ areas going offline simultaneously.
