Eventually with a strong enough flare, like a x 160 class or higher it will be like detonating a few kilo ton nuke 500 miles up and cause all sorts of EMP related problems and we will see more than a barely measurable induction of voltage on power lines and radio blackout will effect higher frequencies that normally work just fine at line of sight during typical radio blackout.
Oh and also some of Kirchhoff's laws are wrong too. Particularly the one about emissivity.

All true!
And the 'scientists' haven't been 'idle' since the Carrington Event of 1859.
NASA, European Space Agency, and Chinese Stable- Support Scientific Project of Research Institute of Radiowave Propagation have 'surrounded' the Sun with satellites.
No matter 'where' a sunspot, flare, CME, full-halo CME, ICME, SPE, CIRS, IMF, etc. occurs, they can instantly locate it, determine it's size, magnitude, direction of travel, intercept time with Earth's magnetosphere, and broadcast advisory and warning bulletins to all satellite operators, electric power grid operators, Pilots, ships captains, Military, ect., providing lead times, from minutes, to days, to take appropriate actions to prevent, or minimize effects to their infrastructure and assets.
Virtually all US Federal departments, agencies, and international partners are involved.
I don't think we'll ever get caught with our pants down.
