5 pm in which time zone?
It doesn’t really matter, as it was yesterday.
I am going all the way. I’m building a pyre from all my kit in the garden. When the flares come I shall ignite it and let all my kit burn asunder. In this way it shall be reborn the following day as a much improved system with astounding clarity, immediacy and presence. Let the ceremony commence!
Dammit. I missed the end of the world. 
How did we make it through the night?
According to Wikipedia, the frequency of solar flares varies from several per day to less than one a week, depending on the solar cycle, so they are hardly rare.
Directly above my house in SE London last night - we never normally get to see anything interesting in the night sky!
Yikes. I hope you turned your Nova off.
If interested in the aurora angle there’s another thread started yesterday:
No but seems ok this morning!
About 0100
far too late for my (Forest Hill) daughter, then. 
It’s when you can see the northern lights during the day we should get worried.
Sky brightness is the problem. Where I was, in quite a dark sky location, it was just discernible as a possible something (camera revealed not imagination) from about 10:45, much more definite and colours starting to become visible by about 11, and in full glory by 11:15
Wow… I really overslept an alien invasion
