Keeping in mind that it was an X 20. class that caused severe damage to the power grip decades ago this was a 3.1 X class.
From the video producers notes:
Published on Oct 24, 2014
Active Region 12192 unleashed another major Solar Flare today. Peaking to X3.1 at 21:40 UTC. Associated with this event was an R3 Radio Blackout with a duration of 19 minutes. This long duration event appears to have a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) but not yet visible on satellite imagery, this active region was directly earth-facing at the time of the eruption and and any outgoing CME will be earth directed. more information once solar imagery is available.
