This article about the 1903 geomagnetic superstorm amidst a quiet sun cycle piqued my interest today. They had auroras as far as New South Wales, which is good news for me if something similar should happen again in the current quiet solar cycle.

It tends to demonstrate that a relatively 'quiet' (few sunspots/active regions) can still result in Earth directed flares that can have a major impact on our planet. It seems like a statistical crap shoot. Fewer active regions on the sun (and fewer resulting sunspots) probably results in a lower probability of an Earth directed CME, but there's still a possibility that an intense solar flare/CME will be directed in our specific direction.

Aye. Contra Davidson's apocalyptic tendencies (and the same in myself), whilst it would sure be interesting to see one I don't like our chances!
