1) DM do you want to go back and fix your link? It doesn't work for me.
2) Does anybody know what Solar CME 'level' or 'rating' we should be worried about. I think X5 is the start of something bad.

This is a flare, not a CME (yet). The Carrington Event of 1859 is estimated to have been a flare of around class X50. Yes, fifty. In 2003, we had an X45, damaged a few sats and caused a one-hour power outage in Sweden. Flares may be related to the launching of CME's, which are what causes the real effects on Earth. The Carrington Event lasted for days, which made it a global event, unlike a nuclear-induced EMP, which is almost instantaneous and pretty localized.

So when we get an X40+ flare and then a CME, I'll worry. Good thing is that we know approximately when a CME will arrive, and we usually have a day or two to prepare.

I'd check the tornado warnings first.
(and the price of gas)

Lots of beans in there, gas is not an issue. 

And I just went in for the solar flare thing.
