The Carrington event was a geomagnetic storm, resulting from solar activity. For those who like to follow space weather events, this is expected to be a great year for aurora borealis viewing, which is also caused by the same solar activity.

So in short, solar activity is normal and beyond the scope of anything anyone in Hollywood would know how to manage. Now, faults introduced into the power grid could be man-made.

Here's a link to a space weather site, fun for all who want a 30 minute heads-up on aurora activity: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast
