I doubt if anyone really cares since disaster is so much fun, but if you can see the flare/cme coming out of the side of the sun like that, it's not headed towards the earth. SOHO sits along a line between the sun and the earth. A cme coming directly at us would initially be blocked out by the disk that hides the sun. As it approaches and expands, it might look somewhat like a circular blob. So, continue to not worry about that one.
