Original Note:
The post suggests a Coronal hole found ‘recently’ can cause a solar storm stronger than the one in 1859 that was named the Carrington Event.“Predicted to be 60 times more powerful” is just an invention of the OP. Solar storms happen often and there’s no ‘shocking discovery’. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/coronal-holes https://www.astronomy.com/observing/are-we-ready-for-the-next-big-solar-storm/
