Any reported Vampire / Mole Men / C.H.U.D. attacks?
NE Florida: the sky is pouring down like a mad bastard and shows no sign of letting up. Somebody is pulling my leg.
No, but we’ve got unconfirmed reports of hawks turning into naked ladies and plummeting to their deaths.
10 minutes away from max (69%), and the pinhole viewer shows a pretty skinny crescent but it doesn’t seem notably dim out.
Phew. That was amazing. I need a cigarette.
Usually at this time of day we have clear skies here in San Luis Obispo, CA but we just passed the time for max coverage (~70% at 10:17 PDT) and it is still completely cloudy out. Boo.
You sent us your storm! Take it back!
We are 3 minutes from our 94% here in No. Colorado. There is very little of the sun showing and it looks like twilight. Temp dropped from 95 to 84 degrees. Everything is absolutely still, not even a single aspen leaf quaking. My dogs are nervous and confused. One can understand why primitive folks were frightened by this. Very eerie.
After totality, my son commented “I don’t know why they say animals act weird. The humans act a lot weirder.”
Atlanta checking in. Still 45 mins until our 97%, but a decent sized bite is now missing out of the sun at about the 2’o’clock position.
Clearing up (ever so slightly) after the rain in Central Florida. I think it’s supposed to hit me in about a half hour or so, hoping the clouds wane even more
Peak eclipse will be about 75% coverage here (Fort Worth), and will occur in about 15 minutes. It’s a clear day, and the sky has dimmed noticeably in the last half hour. Kinda spooky.
Well, it’s over and we’re back to normal on the Left Coast.
With 12 minutes to max coverage for us (78%), it looks just like any other cloudy day. In fact, it is brighter now than it was on a very cloudy day last week. If you’re not an astronomer, nothing to see here, folks, move along.
Here’s an extremely unimpressive pic of what it looked like in San Jose using my very crude pinhole device: https://goo.gl/photos/FTzoKxaUJZeYWsmi6
That’s just what a newly formed race of left behind sinners with superpowers would say.
We had 93.3% coverage in Boulder. It got so silent. No dogs barking, even the birds went silent. It still is.
Central Texas. No dimming.
Hope you all are enjoying it, wherever you are. We’re only getting a partial here, but the predicted clouds and thunderstorms got delayed and it stayed beautifully clear. It’s just approaching maximum now and really oddly dark, but with distinct shadows from direct sunlight – very strange looking.
I think the clouds are going to ruin it for me…oh well, maybe in 30 years…
