The strong solar flare and CME last night are associated with region 4100 facing Earth as shown in the (hand-drawn!) Solar Synoptic Map published daily by NASA/NOAA SWPC.

An image of the Sun taken by the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) around 04:28 UTC, shortly after the start of the eruption, is shown below.
