Q&A

Is it possible for coronal mass ejections or perhaps a gamma ray burst to cause firestorms on an earth-like planet?

Ideally this would be some sort of sun or star-related natural disaster that would affect the entire planet and make life outside of protected/shielded areas extremely dangerous. This is a human-inhabited planet, and while many people will be living in domes built specifically to guard against this catastrophe, others will be left out in the open to fend for themselves and while I don't want them to be wiped out completely, their chances of surviving should be slim.
