Maybe you're powerless, I could stop it if I wanted to

While some tech people behind the scenes are overwhelmed and scrambling to keep all kinds of electrical infrastructures up and running, or at least safe until the solar storm blast passes.

Plus they were expecting it, have been low-key preparing for weeks or months - knowing there's a solar maximum - then much more actively a few days and hours before the event arrived, thanks to solar weather satellite forecasts being a reliable thing now.
