The eclipse is underway here in Texas. I have been noting the progress. A few days ago I found a bottle of wine "Spellbound, the Eclipse", a California Petit Syrah. I have been having a taste as I check on the progress. An enjoyable wine, a cool event, it don't get much better than this.
Enjoying the eclipse.

Here in Louisiana we are overcast and rainy so I'm out of luck.
A friend in NM who is Native American told me their elders forbade them from looking at the eclipse

Interesting,
My wife and I just watched it and were talking about what the ancient groups of people in history thought about such things.
Totality here in NW Ohio. You could feel the temperature drop and the wind die down as it approached totality. The security light on my barn turned on. Very quiet and eerie.
partial here in S.C. and I think they are stuck ......
It was pitch dark here for about 4 minutes. Eerie quiet and the birds were freaking out. The geese were going crazy
Well, there must have been a bunch of ancients that went blind, I don't think they had welding helmets.
It's over now - all the flatlanders can go home!
Geez, I went into town late morning and the traffic of out of state plates going north was rough! My 5-6 minute trip turned into 25-30. We were in totality with only some thin high clouds. Awesome!!!
It was 62 degrees and warm in the sun but when the sun went away, we got a bit chilly sitting in the shade.
Sun is fairly far back out now.

I sure it's the last one I'll see

We have had cloudy and drizzles for part of that time, now a full force downpour.

Completely overcast and spitting rain here in the Houston area. It did get pretty dark for a few minutes, but that's about it. Couldn't even see the sun.
I was at work. I spent the day on the roof. We did not get totality. I didn't notice things getting darker at all. I did pull some welding hoods with a #10 lens out & leave them where the kids could get to them. They seemed to have fun looking at it.

Dropped 10 degrees here in CLE in almost an instant …. Kinda reminds one that should the Sun "go out", we have very little time to say our "I love you's" and "goodbyes", cuz we be done right quick.
The clouds here in PA made it so I could look right at it…
......went out on the back deck about 10 minutes after 3pm and sat there with the my dog Chloe, and could see the shadow coming from the north, north west and when it got totally dark at 3:14, Laura came out said the kitchen inside was almost orange?? and it was totally dark outside we could lookup and see the moon had covered the sun completely, did not need or use any googles or special glasses, and it was an awesome, almost a 'spiritual' 4 minutes and the upper right corner of the moon lit up like a diamond ring ring and we all hugged and went back inside, did I say "awesome"?? wow, and the next one is in a bit over 400 hundred years in my back yard....

watched in here in mo.
if i had to drive to it, and wait in traffic, i would have thought a local firemans carnival was more exciting.

We are at Son's house N of Ft Worth and the weather was perfect. Clear blue and in the high 70s. It did cool off a little and got a little darker during the full eclispe. What was cool was being able to see what was around the sun without glasses during the full portion.
