How do you time a CME? I guess you can jump into action with the
pre-impact warning of 1-2 days?

At least the satellites are safe, we have Space Force.

Never thought about that. Yo get the data center back up. But your
fibers all down. In 5 places. But you only find out once you get one
back together.
Yeah. We’re safe because no one has done it. Not because we’re safe.

I've thought about how vulnerable the entire US power and
communications grid is.
It would be so easy to cut multiple long haul fibers, plant bombs
at large power transmission lines and then sync it all together
to explode, cut things at the same time. It could easily be done
in rural areas only but still affect metros since they all feed
from rural power and fiber lines.
There's also no cameras or as many people monitoring things in
the middle of nowhere. If this was done over multiple states and
targeted multiple grids and fibers, you could almost knock out
90% of all power and communication. This would hurt more than any
single location attack.

What happened in Nashville has actually been a concern of
mine for some time.
Look at 9/11. Huge loss of life yes. But that took a lot of
effort and planning and getting through security and learning
to basically fly a massive tin projectile.
How much more damage could a small group do with 5 or 6 vans
loaded with explosives in a coordinated attack on say: NYC,
401N Broad, Ashburn, St Louis, Chicago and San Jose?
Throw in a few major CO switching offices in some major towns.
You’ve caused mass disaster. Minimal planning. And now with
911 services out and data crippled you could do something
else even more major.
