You could read a newspaper from the light in the middle of the night during the Carrington event, so not comparable at all.

The EM disturbance to Earth (Dst) of Carrington was -1000, whereas this one was -250. But the flare that produced Carrington was estimated to be an X80, whereas our max was around an X3.98. I think that means that Carrington produced around 0.008 W/m^2 of X-ray flux whereas ours produced around 0.0004

The non-linear effect (20x weaker flare only 4x less effect) is accounted for by how Earth's magnetic field has weakened in the ~165 years since Carrington.

That’s what I want to know but everybody just talks about how pretty it is. I want to know if it was dangerous to our electronics, and if not then how close it came to being dangerous, you know, small things like that.
