[quote:Anonymous astrophysicist 1315151:MV8yMTk5ODQ5XzM3MjQzOTI3X0E1NTY0NEVG] http://www.n3kl.org/sun/noaa.html This is no ordinary solar x ray flare, and the radio interruptions can be explained by the almost simultaneous arrival of the protons with the electromagnetic x rays, as clearly depicted in the chart above. The proton flux begins to rise about a half an hour after the arrival of the x ray flux, meaning the fastest of the protons were moving 1/3C. The flare would have been rated much higher had the full brunt of it's electromagnetic spectrum been Earth directed. [/quote]
