Mike,
Betcha a beer that it will never make it here.   I'd love to see a
"Hemisphere-Buster" from that W120 flare (or thereabouts).  However, 
I think its far eastern flank is sure to be too weak, due to 
deceleration all along its periphery, to give us any discernible 
signal.   I hope that I'm wrong.  If so, the implication would be 
that the peak shock speed above the flare site would have had to be 
about 3000 km/sec and decelerated to your 950 km/sec (or so) further 
from the Sun when you picked it up.  I hope it will cost me that beer.
Murray
