X40+ Super Solar Flare
 

It appears that the x-ray flux sensors became saturated by this latest super
solar flare. Because of the duration saturation of the sensors which appear
as a flat topping, this super solar flare probably exceeded X30-40 and has
probably become the largest
ever measured by humans. Truly historic.

In case you haven't noticed a massive daylight side 35,000 KC plus radio
blackout began at approximately 1955 UTC in association with a long duration
X18+ super solar flare. Absolutely amazing.
