COMMENT:  AIA 193A data show a flare from AR 14000 at location [N16, W30]
     20:27-21:07 UT and noted as a M1.5 class X-ray.  This event
    is part of the larger event to follow.  AIA 193A shows an eruption
    from the West limb steming from South 13, beginning 21:50-23:32UT.
    This produces a large loop CME with cavity and core expanding to
    a full HALO CME over the West limb with a post loop arcade surfacing
    up over the limb to finish. The determnination is a CME from the
    previous AR13990.  This eruption produces a SEP event.

    GOES reports 02/25 00:20 UT flux of > 10 MeV protons exceeded 10pfu. 
    SOHO reports 02/25 03:50 UT flux of > 15.8 MeV proton exceedes 10/-1.

     LASCO C2/C3 shows an asymetric full HALO CME over the West.
