This is the only spot I've been paying attention to for the past couple of days, and it seems to have complexified considerably overnight; a delta seems to have formed (red square), and there are tendencies to another one too (blue square):

Yes the red square is definitely a delta. I thought the blue squared area was likely earlier, I don't believe it's quite there yet!

I put the original pic in as a reference so any changes could be noted. Thanks

“Not Earth-directed”, yet the X-rays arrived within minutes.

There's a big difference between the flare and any associated CME. The flare will typically be visible as long as it's anywhere on the visible disc facing Earth, even if it's right on the limb as in this case. And needless to say, X-rays, like all other electromagnetic radiation, does indeed travel at the speed of light, and thus reaches Earth in ~8 minutes.

Exactly. And to add, there was no ejecta with it being very impulsive, although with it now being on the western limb, would think a radiation storm might be possible in the next day or so? Or was the flare too short-lived?
