I guess my understanding of the physics is faulty. My understanding is that ever CME has an EMP as a sub-element in the event. The severity of the CME increases the severity of the corresponding EMP. I guess I'd always seen EMPs as analogous to shockwaves: Every explosion has a shockwave, just some of them are more devastating than others, depending on attributes of the explosion.
