Carrington event is very similar to EMP. The main difference is that solar flare lasts long enough to affect the whole world. The main effect is that it induces currents in long conductors. These days, that is mainly electrical wires. This causes wide scale power outages. The big problem is may damage transformers which are hard to replace. Things in house should be okay, but some might be damaged if not on surge protector. Electronics won’t be touched at all.
