Not gonna lie, I was disappointed. We have really heavy cloud cover so stood in the back yard, glasses ready, staring at each other. This was a picture that a friend took from our backyard. I really did enjoy the pics people with better views shared and I still required my kids to "experience" it! Just a reminder that the cosmos is pretty amazing!SouthernIslander wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 8:25 pm The eclipse gorgeous.

Still here, and definitely not square dancing with Dale. lol The eclipse was fun to watch. We decided to try out homeschooling ODS, so he watched the live coverage with me.

We had some clouds too but not enough to hide the sun, so we had a really good view.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 8:42 pmNot gonna lie, I was disappointed.

Just dark enough to look like a storm was coming but not unusually dark. I was expecting the birds to stop chirping and nocturnal animals to comes out, lol. Our pets didn't even react. Initially the town was silent and a there was no traffic at all on our street which I thought was weird until I realized that traffic was closed for the funeral procession. I'm assuming it was not planned to align with the eclipse but if it was, I think that's awesome!SouthernIslander wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 9:07 pmWe had some clouds too but not enough to hide the sun, so we had a really good view.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 8:42 pmNot gonna lie, I was disappointed.

We were in the path of totality. It got pretty dark here. Street light came on, but what I noticed the most was how cold it got.

It got pretty dark here, like night time. I read some of the animals at the zoo herded together but nothing outrageous. I read that a large group of couples got married in Arkansas.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 9:34 pmJust dark enough to look like a storm was coming but not unusually dark.

It made the sky look like it does when we have a bad storm. An eerie shade of light.
Hopefully I'm still around in 2045 when Florida is in the path of totality.

My son sent me the pictures he took, it looked amazing! He was fascinated by it. We just got a partial eclipse here, I didn’t get glasses, but suddenly it got a bit darker and like my house had an orange-y tint.
