Original Note:
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are not the same thing, and their respective strengths do not correlate. CME’s can happen without flares and vice versa. I.e.- It would not require an X20 or necessarily any strength flare for visibility in Puerto Rico. https://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/sftheory/spaceweather.htm https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/coronal-mass-ejections
