It's the solar equivalent to a light drizzle on a Springtime afternoon. About as spectacular as that as well. Even X Class flares have been pretty
disappointing in the whole, doom and gloom aspect...
The radiation from the flare arrived that's how it was detected.
The CME you recorded was not associated with the flare. It occurred 5 hours before. It was not Earth directed and will have no effect.
