It appears that the x-ray flux sensors became saturated by this latest super
solar flare. Because of the duration saturation of the sensors this super
solar flare probably exceeded X30-40 and has probably become the largest
ever measured by humans. Truly historic.

Subject: X18+ Super Flare At 1955 UTC
In case you haven't noticed a massive daylight side 35,000 KC plus radio
blackout began at approximately 1955 UTC in association with a long duration
X18+ super solar flare. Absolutely amazing.
