The Carrington event caused fires in telegraph offices and turned railroad rails cherry red. Those were the only serious conductors at the time. Another event like that in the current day would be setting our homes and businesses ablaze due to the power, cable and phone wiring acting as large antennas to capture the energy. It would be a problem on most of the surface of the earth as the globe rotates during the event. An EMP is localized to the hemisphere under the weapon and less so due to the limited horizen determined by the height of burst.
