Another direct hit Carrington Event level CME hitting us from the sun could black us out for a lot longer than a week. You'd better hope we're not around when another one like that hits us, which it will, sooner or later, as we're totally unprepared. And there's evidence that even stronger solar storms than Carrington have hit us farther back in history I could not disagree more. We have protective devices developed in the last thirty years that can protect the grid from high induced voltages. In the old telegraph days these systems didn't exist! (When the Carrington event happened.) Just some "state of the art" electrical engineering that actually works. I'd be much more worried about a GRB than an EMP.
