Apparently yes. The x-rays take minutes and the flares a few days. We
may not have any known history of a big one actually hitting the earth.
Of course there might be a reason for that. ;-) It would indeed be an
unfortunate coincidence if the earth were in the path of a big one.
Most probably just go off into space not hitting any planets.
