X5 class eruption

Sorry to burst your bubble but
Big sunspot AR1429 has unleashed another major flare This is one of the strongest yet an X5 class eruption on MArch 7th at 00.28UT
The eruption hurled a bright CME into space Although the CME is not squarely directed at earth it appears to be close enough to deliver a glancing blow to our planet's magnetic field on March 8-9 This would add to the magnetic unrest already underway at high latitudes.

So an X5 eruption lets see if any flights are re routed????? I think not
