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.

Had not fully thought that one through.
Would disconnecting your house via the main breaker prevent that?

By “prevent that” I meant “prevent the house from burning”.

Your area doesn’t require the use of ‘breaker boxes’ for home electrical installation yet?
