Ha. I'll have to double check spaceweather, but there is a pretty large grouping that brightened up through the day that I'd be surprised if that didn't flare--might just be a couple of coronal holes. Then on the limb there was a large storm that appeared to flare. Granted, I could and probably am wrong, but take a look and you tell me what you think. Dan -- Sent from my iPhone.

You actually saw a flare? White-light, or H-a? I've never seen a visual solar flare in my life.
Did you have the Drum Bus this year? ;-)

Dad, me, and another guy who's name escapes me right now (Brad?) spent the day at my daughter's school doing solar observing with the kids.
The sun is really active right now, nots of prominences, flares, spots, etc. if you can, it's good viewing right now.
