I missed the X Class but 20 mins due to power outage where I live. I wasnt able to use the 150 since it was so windy.

Yes Simon, at last AR2877 has blown a "SIGNIFICANT X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE" as spaceweather.com report for this afternoon/Thursday-28th.

If the spaceweather.com article is correct (and most probably is correct), a significant CME will likely cause Aurorae in the Northern Hemisphere, including Iceland and possible much of the UK as well as the US/Canada.
Could even show in the Southern Hemisphere as the source was directly facing Earth. Probably Saturday/Sunday or unlikely but possibly earlier..
