Well we may loose some satellites if this hits us dead on, today a large solar flare was detected on the Sun, this one looks to be heading our way, if it is large enough it could knock out some of the older less shielded satellites.
It could also cause some power distribution problems on the AC power grid, and radio communication drop outs, the link below will track the strength of this flare, if the green line gets above the dotted line, we could have some problems.
