sadly not suprised by some jumping to conclusions like this.  some groups have been hyping doom and gloom scenarios about solar weather recently, so makes sense they'd use this coincidence to further their narratives

There were two flares - an X1.7 and an X1.8. No CME's though, so we aren't going to get smacked by that. https://spaceweather.com/

Extremely unlikely. We did have a X1.7 class flare 12 hours before the event but the amount of disruption that would cause would be almost negligible. It would only really affect satellite communications and anything using ionospheric skip, and considering the intensity, not for a long period of time. This just seems like paranoia and attempting to find correlation where there is none.
