Well guys (and ladies), if civilization collapses from a Carrington-like event, I must preemptively say, it has been mostly a pleasure reading you all :)

This is a G4, with a 100 or so equivalent storms predicted for every 11 year cycle. I wouldn’t worry too much.

I saw that stat on their chart. My question with it is 100 or so storms per cycle that just burp out into space period, or is it 100 or so per cycle that interact with Earth?

That statistic is under the heading "Geomagnetic Storms", so one would assume it's talking purely about interactions with the magnetosphere.
