Content: Instead, EMPs can occur naturally as a result of a large solar flare. The sun is constantly creating and discharging electricity in the form of its flares, after all. If the Earth just so happens to be in the path of a particularly big one, its power grid may take a hit. While it’s doubtful that a solar flare will ever be large enough to impact the world as a whole, it’s still possible. It’s more likely that a flare-up would hit a specific region, and the rest of the world will be able to help repair from it. Preparedness Is Key
Even if EMPs are relatively small-scale threats, as far as your personal devices are concerned, they can still destroy them. If your phone is plugged in and charging when one hits, for example, it can be fried. As the power grid fails, it may send a large surge of electricity after the solar flare. Anything connected to the grid would then succumb to the wave of electricity unless it’s protected from surges. And anything that isn’t protected from large waves of electricity, generally, will also fail.
