Yeah, it is very fast and the filament liftoff occurred near Earths footprint.

Gotta wait on ISWA for the official word.

Howdy, ANHEDONIC yes, there's been another CME launched, but it's too early to tell how much of it was earth-directed. I'm waiting for the SOHO C2 and C3 images to update so we can see how much of a halo we're looking at. Most likely a glancing blow, but a similar eruption in Oct. 2011 gave us aurora as far south as Arkansas from a 'glancing blow'. It should be fun to watch though.
