So we know that lesser solar flares happen anything fro weekly to several a day, depending on where we are in the cycle, and they range from not having any effect at all to slightly messing up the satellite TV reception.

But what do we know, if anything, about frequency of a big "knock out the power grid and fry all the computers" type event?

The Carrington event is unique in our experience, and I imagine it is not easy to determine probabilities based on one data point -- but rare we looking ta something like the "Yellowstone caldera is about to blow and kill us all" stuff here. in terms of likelihood of happening anytime soon?
