It missed us by 9 days

To ease the tension, the reports of electronics frying come from time when fuses and circuit-breakers were not that common. Nowadays, you have multiple circuit protecting components in almost any device. Furthermore, most workplaces have UPS protected circuits - you can get those for your home computer as well. Important infrastructure (datacenters, hospitals but even hotels etc.) is backed up by diesel generators, they typically have enough fuel for a few days. Induction of current from the atmosphere would be almost exclusively limited to the grid itself, so once that is cut off from your circuit, the devices themselves do not pose much risk. Summed up, it would be troublesome, but not apocalyptic.
