Total Eclipse

[4stringdude]

It's almost time for the eclipse to begin. My home is in the path of totality. We have a relatively clear day in Indiana. Our temp is around 74 deg. I have food in the pantry, beer in the fridge and plenty of ammo. I think I am ready for any craziness that may occur.

All normal here as it went by. The annulus ring was really cool. I was happy to be able to pull up a chair on my driveway and watch it from home. No fuss no mess. Nothing weird happened either.

I watched it at home as well. Truly an amazing sight.

Here in Florida we only had about 75% coverage

Very eerie when the wind died down and it got quiet and dark. And the horizon all around was light like a 360 degree sunset.

A little more than 75% here in SE Michigan. I looked at it with my welding helmet for a minute, then back to work. Ive seen a couple total eclipses. Very cool.

Everyone I know got left behind.

We had a 97% coverage here in this part of east Texas. My brother in law in Ft Worth had 100%.

How old are you michiganmuzzy?

What they may not have realized is how rare a treat it was. Not only was it the first total solar eclipse visible from Michigan since 1954, it was the last one Michigan will see for another 75 years. The next one won't be until Sept 2099

From my brother in law. He's the camera buff. It got quite dark here at totality. Security lights came on. Haven't seen any unusual missing persons reports. . I can say the eedjits were out in full force yesterday.

That photo is very neat @Wilyote1 .

I didn't see more than the sky getting a little bit like twilight. We had rain on and off and clouds. No fun.

I saw an eclipse from Pinckney in 92’ it was only partial but it hooked me. In ‘17 i was in Tennessee, by coincidence. Very cool, that was a total eclipse.

I guess our area was in the 90% range. It got pretty dark for a few moments. The clouds gave way some every now and then. I was able to watch nearly the entire thing.

I saw it. I thought it was cool.
