So are we supposed to expect one hour of somewhat-dark, two minutes of very-dark, and then one-hour of somewhat dark again?
As I recall, it’s not notably darker until near totality. And the real difference is during totality. That’s why a 90% is nifty but nearly as inspiring as totality
How is live video having an issue with mouth movements not matching with sound?
Some thin high clouds have moved in. I can still see the sun, but the effect may be muted a bit.
I am at a rest stop just outside Hico, TX, which I understand is one of the few areas within the path of totality in Texas that is not entirely overcast. It’s partly cloudy, but even with the sun behind a cloud just now I was able to make out the moon against the sun.
So I am cautiously optimistic that I should get to experience about 2 to 3 minutes of totality, if the clouds don’t get any thicker. There’s even a chance (looking like slightly better than even odds) that I’ll get an unobstructed view.
Yeah, you don’t really start feeling it until maybe 5-10 minutes before. At least that’s my recollection from the last two.
Mostly cloudy is a little sunny…
Partiality just started here NE NY
Now its clouding up.
We’ve gotten the most we’re going to get in Sacramento. About 34-36%, say local news stations.
Simulation is the best view!
Totality just over in Torreon. Miraculously the clouds parted and we saw it all. Corona is bright and regular and some big naked eye prominence at the 5 o’clock position.
First contact in NB
Crescent shadows.
We may luck out!
Can you see Venus and Mercury during totality ?
No, just the sun through a hole in the clouds.
You may be able to see the wncroachment even through some clouds - we could in 2017 and we can today. I’m just hoping it clears before totality.
Only about 30% occlusion in San Jose:
Fortunate gap in the clouds for the entire totality. Got to see planets!
