The solar storm of 1859, strongest one we know about. Telegraphs useless.

"During the 1859 flare-up, solar observers logged almost an entire minute
during which the amount of sunlight doubled at the region of the flare.

"Such a strong white-light flare has never been seen since," says Paal
Brekke, SOHO deputy project scientist. "So if this type of flare happened,
yes we would know right away." But he adds that the orientation of Earth's
magnetic field would not be known. Future space-based observatories could
address this blind spot in space weather forecasting."
