Solar Eclipse…..

[KillerFord1977]

It was partly cloudy in N TX, and we got to see the Eclipse in its totality. It was really damn cool !!

It got cooler, wind picked up, birds quit flying and chirping, then the sun came back and birds started flying again. Was wild.

My solar patio lights went on

Cool !

Since I'm nowhere near the path (compared to 2017) so been watching The Weather Channel which has been having continuous coverage from multiple locations from Mexico to Maine. Excellent coverage.

So, have been seeing the totality multiple times, which never gets old.

Yesterday they predicted severe thunderstorms in ???, Texas. Disappointing if that happens.

Where I'm at in S. Texas had almost total overcast skies, couldn't see anything, never got dark. Oh well life goes on.

 

[Sld1959]

Gotta admit it looked pretty cool even at 98%

I watched it a while, something I won't see again.

Weather was perfect here in DFW. What clouds there were added to the atmosphere. When the sun went dark it blew my mind. It made the hairs stand up on my arms. It was very primal.

If you have The Weather Channel they're repeating their coverage from the ~6 US locations.

Some really cool pics.

 

[Old_Me]

nothing much here, what looked like a lawn chair under a shade tree.

Got a little dark here in STL but not really. Nothing even close to @SimonRL’s picture

[Mr.W.]

We were at ninety-five percent here at home. Spectacular event to witness, especially without any travel involved. We're grateful. . .

thousands of people drove up to Vermont for the eclipse, the airport (i heard on the radio) shut down, due to over crowding.>??

anyway, gonna be fun times on the highways here with them going back south, and the rush hour traffic.....

 

[Mr.W.]

One local news coverage spoke to some folks that weren't excited, with very little anticipation. Two of those individuals separately spoke to the reporter again after the event, hoping that they wouldn't air their original comments! They ended up absolutely thrilled to witness this once in a lifetime spectacle.
Well, that's a wrap until 2099.

Great weather here in ???, TX. Had 97% totality. Not really dark, but more subdued with a different kind of tint so to speak.

 

[10mmLife]

A little shady in NH briefly but nothing to write home about. I tried taking a Pic with my phone but the sun is the only thing you can see.

 

[belladonna]

It is CLOUDY. Typical for here when something cool is happening. Ah well, I am tired and cranky anyway...and we are west of the main path anyway. I do look forward to the deluge of online photos of the event. I'll live vicariously through some of the people of the United States of America (it felt kinda cool typing out those words.. ) and call it good. Off to bed to rest for the battles of tomorrow..

Taken a few miles west of Camp Atterbury in Indiana-

 

[papa]

Had a great view here. Total eclipse and got very dark for a few minutes.
