It does look like the sun had a quake from the X flare to an ESE region connecting along a line to direct South. Interesting! ⚡️

2:01 to 2:27, why show these clips when they're not even related to this flare?

Whenever there's a large flair people flair up too... Bad driving, impolite behavior in the stores, and short tempers at work... Never fails. They may not know, but we do so we must exhibit patience. Grrr.
