    Brad,
    
    if I understood correctly, you attempted to observe the 
    flare from TULSA 1 (Lat +36.128 N, Lon -95.988 E) on the 19th 
    at about 01.00 UTC. If it is correct, I can say you were 
    too distant from the flare track.
    
    In the file containing the track coordinates, I find the following entry (Lon, Geo Lat):
    
    -95,98         30,25		
    
    or, looking for your latitude, I find the entry:
    
    -99,66         36,02
    
    This confirms you were too far. At the following link I loaded a screenshot where you can see your site (the small orange dot. Zoom in to see it) along with the flare track.

    Thank you anyway for the attempt. (Also your report is of help)
    
    Best Regard,
    Simone
