From spaceweather.com as of 9/1/2012:
The explosion hurled a CME away from the sun traveling faster than 500 km/s (1.1 million mph). The cloud, shown here, is not heading directly toward Earth.
#end
The site also says a "glancing blow". "Glancing blow" is and has been used many many times in the space weather realm and the sun/earth effect. Nothing to be too worried about really. You can bring the tomato plant back out of the basement now.
