How do we prepare for such an event? hunker down and read Kchoo Experience for the 4 days under a tin foil embrella?

I don't read fiction but we don't need to prepare, the earth protects us...

This is true.. however consider the limitations. 2012 almost was a real event.
Solar storm of 2012 - Wikipedia

"Based on the collected data, the eruption consisted of two separate ejections which were able to reach exceptionally high strength as the interplanetary medium around the Sun had been cleared by a smaller CME four days earlier.[2] Had the CME hit the Earth, it is likely that it would have inflicted serious damage to electronic systems on a global scale.[2] A 2013 study estimated that the economic cost to the United States would have been between $0.6 and 2.6 trillion USD.[3] Ying D. Liu, professor at China's State Key Laboratory of Space Weather, estimated that the recovery time from such a disaster would have been about four to ten years.[4]

A HOLE IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE: A wide hole in the sun's atmosphere is facing Earth and spewing a stream of solar wind toward our planet. Estimated time of arrival: April 9th. In this extreme ultraviolet image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, we see not only the hole, but also a bushy filament of magnetic bordering the hole's leading edge:

these things are actually pretty common
we were hit by huge ones both in 2003 and in 2012 and we are still here

At Peace.
Worst case:
The electrical grid - along with - cell phones, PCs, IPODS, etc. and most trucks and cars would shut down and likely have their electronics fried. In addition, your refrigerator, air conditioner, heating system and pumps would no longer work. People who rely on heart pace makers would die within minutes of the storm.

Airliners, in the sky, would drop like pancakes having lost all computer control. If it hit at around noon over the U.S., it's estimated that 3,000 airplanes could crash to the earth. At an average of around 100 people per plane, that means 300,000 people could die within a few minutes of being hit.

They say in the 1800s we copped a huge one but luckily there was not any infrastructure / tech around to get damaged back then.

There's accounts of the Carrington event of 1859 starting fires in telegraph offices.
Solar storm of 1859 - Wikipedia
The solar storm of 1859 (also known as the Carrington Event)[1] was a powerful geomagnetic solar storm during solar cycle 10 (1855–1867). A solar coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetosphere and induced one of the largest geomagnetic storms on record, September 1–2, 1859. The associated "white light flare" in the solar photosphere was observed and recorded by British astronomers Richard C. Carrington (1826–1875) and Richard Hodgson (1804–1872). The now-standard unique IAU identifier for this flare is SOL1859-09-01.

A solar storm of this magnitude occurring today would cause widespread disruptions and damage to a modern and technology-dependent society.[2][3] The solar storm of 2012 was of similar magnitude, but it passed Earth's orbit without striking the planet
