The Sun had better start cranking out a lot more of these Sunspots if it hopes to catch up to NOAA's predictions:

Amazing stuff. It’s hard to wrap my head around the scale of that.

Wow, that is magnificent. There is an almost-readable time code at the bottom left of the time lapse video. Since I can’t fully read it, I am guessing but it appears that mass ejection takes about 10 minutes (18:50 to 19:00) to extend the full “height” of the flare.
Now, an additional estimation (based on the earth-to-scale addition in your gif) means that flare altitude is somewhere around 80,000 miles. (diameter of the Earth approx 8,000 miles and I am making a wild guess that the flare extends about 10 earths out from the surface)
80,000 miles in 10 minutes is just about 1,000,000 miles per hour. Which means, we are observing one of the fasting moving (non-sub-atomic) things we’ll ever see with current viewing technology.

will that make it warmer here? I’m freezing, sick of winter, tired of cold and I really want some of that sunspot hotness to head this way.

Amazing to see the scale...the Earth is so small!
