The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch for Thursday into Friday after an outburst from the sun was detected earlier this week.
Experts are more concerned about potential effects to the power grids in areas slammed by Hurricane Helene two weeks ago.
Florida is far enough south to avoid any power disruptions from the solar surge unless it gets a lot bigger.
The storm also may trigger northern lights as far south in the U.S. as the lower Midwest and Northern California.
