Default power cut linked to aurora activity?

Here in Montreal, there has been very little power problems. But, in many
areas radio communications has been very poor at times. Short-wave
listening has also been very poor these days.

We've had numerous short power outages recently, and a slightly longer
one today. I notice it coincided with a spell of high activity before
midday. Anyone else having electrical problems?

There was a black out in Sweden linked to the storm:

Luckily spaceweather forcasts enabled electrical utltites and other
industries affected by geomagnetic activity to prepare for it..... Unlike
the March 1989 event.

Thanks. Could have been more than coincidence then.
