Telegraph offices caught fire. They were the only thing connected to long spans of wire. Fast forward to the current day. Every home is connected to the electrical grid. A Carrington event style of flare that runs 2 days would surely set most homes and businesses on fire. It's not just your electronic toys that will cook.
