So we see the light of the blast, scientists calculate when the shock wave will hit, everyone on the side of the planet facing the star at that time evacuates to the other side of the planet. Then the shock wave actually hits and the scientists realise they calculated in metric not imperial, so the shock wave hits the site of the planet populated by 100% of eaerthlings. We all die. Oh well, that'll teach us.
