  Earth,Venus,Mercury, and maybe Mars would all be gone because the Sun would of cooked the planets while Mercury and Venus would be consumed by the Sun. Saturn would get the solar storms and all the other outer planets,maybe not Neptune or Pluto and the other dwarf planets but yes.

  They are on other planets, storms that could devastate our planet, but because they are on other planets they have almost no effect on ours (no effect all, actually, except the suns storms)
