We would find ourselves all over the earth, all our electrical installations, with huge electric voltages shriveling everything, power stations, lines, computers, satellites, etc., more GPS, more telephone, more TV, more info, more electricity, more heating, more solar, all the nuclear power plants in the world exploded, without cooling, impossible electricity, to cool them, no more transformers, an armada of Fukushima Chernobyls, etc ... more of everything that allows you to live, and back to the age of the caves to protect themselves, from radiation.
It happened in 1859, in one day 40 years of normal solar radiation, but we only had the telegraph, which made big sparks.

Ask Quebec in 1989, which had only a small sample, of what lies in wait for the whole earth, sometimes for millennia, destruction of all our electrical and satellite installations !!
The probability increases with the return of a maximum of solar activity !!
A solar storm as powerful as that of 1859 will destroy much of the electrical and electronic networks on which we have become dependent. The network of high-voltage lines will act as an antenna which will carry unimaginable voltages to the transformers. The report's authors calculated that 300 critical transformers will be destroyed within 90 seconds, plunging 130 people into the dark.
The scenario developed by the committee from there is really apocalyptic. Indeed, from there, instantaneously or gradually, the set of everything that allows life stops working:
No more water because we can't pump it anymore.
More trains and subways
No more fuel and gas delivery. Even the pipelines are stopped.
Coal-fired power plants have about 30 days of reserve, but to whom will they deliver power without transformers?
Truck deliveries work until the tanks, which can no longer be filled, are empty
The back-up generators themselves will run until they can no longer be supplied with fuel
Explosion of all the cooler nuclear power plants everywhere !!
The hospitals will operate 72 hours, until their generators stop.
Stores will sell (without a cash register and without credit cards - you imagine?) Until their shelves are empty, because they won't be stocked for a long time.
The population can no longer eat, heat or cool, or heal. Diabetics die first (there are millions in the US) ...
It will take years to rebuild everything. Building a large transformer takes a year - if the factory has electricity - and we will quickly run out of replacement transformers. During all these years, people will die by the millions ... of hunger, thirst, diseases ... like today in the Third World, and for the same basic reason: the lack of electricity.
