I was trying to work out how you were out by a factor of 1014. Duh, I should have realised when I saw the 107 that that was probably it.

It's still scary. At that level, it might not wipe out all life, but it'd be pretty nasty and might well cause a mass extinction, depending on how long that energy blast is spread over.

AIUI we get around 1E3 Wm-2 from the sun anyway; is a few seconds at ten times that rate much to worry about?
