X flare underway. Has the long drawn out signature of one producing a CME. Will follow. Too soon for coronagraph imagery to assess the CME.

Flare occurred over the Pacific mostly…seismically active region. Watch for an uptick in EQ regionally in about a day or so.
Probably…then again it's a little tough to spoof a gigantic nuclear furnance in the sky acting up, so maybe not. Might just be an X flare and CME like it looks like.
You betcha..
Thanks, fren.
