[NZ4O Spaceweather] X1.5 Solar Flare

[Thomas F. Giella NZ4O]

I made an error yesterday. Sunspot group number 11166 "is" geo-effective 
(earth facing). If it's associated X1.5 class solar flare did release a 
coronal mass ejection (CME), it would strike earth's magnetic field and 
create significant geomagnetic storming.
