Who are you all going to ritually sacrifice?

It's halfway over here. If I hadn't known...I would have just thought it was a thin cloud.
With the glasses, it shows up great.

Feels like the temp dropped five degrees.

90% coverage area here.

We just had the maximum eclipse here in Oklahoma City. The sun was just a thin crescent. The air temp dropped several degrees. I sat on my back porch and saw it get to 95% or so which was maximum. We had some high thin clouds, but the sun was clear to see.

Ho hum, another eclipse.

My daughter just sent me this pic from Virginia.

That was ok. Street light came on, got semi dark. Not exciting but sort of cool watching it progress.

I'm glad that I was finally able to see the dark side of the moon.

I was doing yardwork when the light got all weird. My neighbors dog went nucking futz, and still are...

I had my welding shield handy so had a peak..... Its no wonder people used to freak out "the end of the world" when things like this happened and they had no explanation..

I saw this explanation using Huskies that offers a little levity..

Our dogs were outside with us. They did not even notice the eclipse, and acted just like normal.

We had 100% totality.

I've never experienced it before.

When you can take off your glasses and look right at it, mind blowing, other worldly.

We got what they refer to as the Diamond Ring, absolutely spectacular sight. We could even see solar flares peeking out from the edges with the naked eye.

One of the coolest things I think Ive ever seen.

Just got back from a visit with Mom at her assisted living facility. I brought her outside so she could experience the event.

Did you see any of the inner planets? Sometimes they can be seen as well.

Yes, saw 3, Venus was one I believe.

[MisterB]

Saw one Venus I believe . The cloaking of darkness was an undescribable experience. Birds flying around. Experience lived up to the hype and amazing weather for West burbs of Cleveland.
