Solar flare hitting Earth

A powerful M9.8-class solar flare erupted from the sun (AR3500) on Wednesday (Nov. 29) at 2:50 p.m. EST (1950 GMT), hurling a super-hot plasma eruption known as a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. The flare is expected to hit Earth today (Dec. 1, 2023).

Hopefully our internet and radio communication systems can withstand the amount of electromagnetic energy that is brought in by this -almost X-class- solar flare

Note: I have not heard of any damage to communication systems whatsoever.
