Well that was much cooler than I was expecting!!

 

[joevol33]

That was cool

Yes it was. I accidentally saw it without glasses

 

[Vol knight]

Wow, that was awesome. It literally felt like nighttime.

 

[joevol33]

Cool

All the dogs around here went crazy!

 

[Nerd-Vol]

That was awesome.

Ok, it was pretty cool.

Go across country to watch it? Hell no.

 

[Grand Vol]

Ok, it was pretty cool.

Go across country to watch it? Hell no.

Apparently, NASA had planes following it across the US.

It got really trippy at 95%. I had cloud cover until about 85%. After that the clouds broke up for a complete unobstructed view. It was amazing.

I plan on being is San Antonio April 2024.

There was hardly any change here unless I just missed it. Wasn't worth any hype.

This pic doesn't do what I saw with my own eyes justice, it was amazing.

I know NASA picked like 55 colleges to use weather balloons to film it from the edge of the atmosphere looking back West to watch the shadow come East at 2000 Mph. Apparently hasn't never been attempted.

That part was truly remarkable. As luck would have it, I'm in Crossville today. Saw a great show.

Major letdown in St Joe Mo. We were in 100% totality zone. Total cloud coverage and rain.

I would be one pissed off cowboy if I drove from Tx to St Joe for this crap. It got pitch black for 30 seconds or so, then started to get light again. #ripoff

I agree, I looked for a minute, and then learned you could when it was like that.

 

[joevol33]

Cool picture a friend of mine got.

The last total eclipse that I saw was in Virginia in 1970 and my parents wouldn't let me look at it when it was in total eclipse so I missed the sun's halo around the moon. I was so cool looking it's hard to describe.

If you left your glasses on the whole time you missed out. It was much cooler than I expected.

I didn't, as soon as it got totally covered I took them off. It was beautiful.

Yeah, more a general comment than speaking to you.

Cool event and pretty neat I didn't have to leave the house. Would have been cool to see it for a couple minutes but the 40ish seconds here was great.
