Region 13184 [S13E68] 400 is a compact region with a complex magnetic layout in the leading spot section. A fairly long neutral line and positive polarity flux sandwiched between negative polarity flux areas in the trailing part of the leading spot section, probably contributed to the major X1 flare. Further M and X class flaring is likely.
