Quick update:

Hi,
Explanation full exact even if lack of detail (normal in a forum) ;-)

Now, added to this geomagnetic storm and the general closure of the HF
spectrum, we have this new X11-class flare from 2049Z. I don't yet know
if
a CME was associated with this one.

CME was associated to that X flare (as 90% of the time due to strong E.M.
field beneath the Sun surface, near the huge dark spot)
X-flare reached immediately the Earth (ligh speed) while the CME about 2
days later (so now !).
See on SEC or NASA websites for update and detail.

Full explanation in French (but there is a Translation module available too)
