It has happened before, Carrington event. Took out the telegraph system entirely and today it would cripple us. There was even a storm of the same magnitude 3 years ago that missed us.
The cynic in me expects that the richer members of society are the ones that will survive. After all they have the cash to fund and operate a militia right from the start of an incident. Wheras the average person will have a few months of supplies, a car and little else.
Well, if society breaks down and I need resources I'm probably going to raid the people that own the 1.5 million dollar house before anything else. Rich people in an apocalyptic situation are the easy pickings imo. You can't eat money.

It would break the balance of power in the world for sure but humanity would ultimately survive... and be better for it.
