She realized no one had passed by in at least the last hour. The radio crackled as she reached for the phone to call roadside assistance. She managed to hear, “A large solar flare was reported Wednesday and forecasters warned of potential electrical and communications disruptions,” just as she put her cell back on the seat and looked around the desert landscape, dismally losing hope of a passerby.
