Could anyone briefly explain what consequences this could have for us?

From the article, possibly damage to a satellite. However, a really big one, like the Carrington Event of 1859 would take out long distance power transmission lines, most satellites, and unprotected electronic equipment. No Internet, airliners falling out of the sky, probably months or years before everything was fully restored.
