I think it would be more widespread if it was a true Carrington event. Might still be a mini one. Actually kind of rooting for this to be the case because then the only bad actors are the politicians and power company administrators that have ignored the warnings. Might lead to reforms worldwide.
It would depend on where it was solar noon at the time the CME hit. But there haven’t been any massive CMEs (Carrington size) anyway, so whatever the cause was, it had nothing to do with solar activity.
