The region is currently near the central meridian and if a CME was produced, Earth will very likely be in the path of the CME. Further data will be posted once details become available. Minor update added at 16:05 UT: A very fast and large EIT wave was observed after the X1 flare. There's a high likelihood an Earth-directed CME was produced, and the CME could arrive on October 30.
