Were you in the path of totality?

Post by jamminjohn »

I was at about 85% here.

Temp dropped a few degrees.

No biggie

Nope. About 90 some-odd percent in Chicago, and I spent the bulk of it indoors.

We had 90% in Queens, NYC.
It was partly cloudy so, the eclipse was ducking in and out of view. I brough two pairs of eclipse sunglasses to work and we took turns viewing.
The pics taken with the eclipse glasses over my cellphone's camera lens weren't worth sharing so, they were deleted.

This pic was taken by one of my co-worker's daughters who was in northern New Jersey...

Yeah man, 95.5% here and we stopped 10°.

Did anyone else notice that it seemed like a portion of the color spectrum was missing?

A couple of friends and I went and visited some friends in Waco, Texas yo see it. That's about a 3.5 hour trip from where I live in Houston. Waco was in the 100% totality path. We got about 4 minutes of darkness. It was pretty cool to see! We almost got screwed by cloud cover, but the sky cleared just in time. Like by seconds.

We drove south about 30 minutes to Decatur and got to see it 100%. It was awesome.

Nope. I was in Chicago, and working indoors, so I didn’t even get partiality. I watched NASA’s coverage of it - look, I wholeheartedly support their efforts to engage people in the sciences, and I think the play-by-play commentary is the best approach for an eclipse, but they didn’t exactly get Joey Styles and Joel Gertner. They’re not hopeless, but they need to step up their game significantly.
