I think I missed it lol or didn't know what to look for. I know it was only supposed to be like 70/80 percent but didn't see anything .
We are only getting around 65% eclipse. Peak is in about 25 minutes. I was just out to watch for a few but even with the glasss, I'm still seeing spots.
I have to leave for work soon and it's a 45 minute drive so I should get some good views.

We had 99.3% where I live. It was pretty cool, but I didn't get glasses. It was still too bright to look at at 99% totality. I wouldn't have known when the peak eclipse happened if I didn't have the news on. The darkness happened pretty slowly. In the end, it looked like a weird super bright full moon and everything got quiet. Birds were flying in weird patterns too.
This was taken on my phone at the exact time of the full eclipse.
Edit: OrGasMe's pics are better; I never saw that though. We live in the same city, I think.

I saw it. Only got to 93% where I'm staying so it didn't meet the hype ?
That's awesome guys! thanks for that!
Even the birds though.... expected but still would've been cool to see! ?

Awesome view here:
It's pretty cool. We get like 80% where I'm at. It's at It's peak now, which makes the sun look like a tiny crescent moon. Through eclipse glasses of course.
It's too cloudy!
Dammit!
Dammit!

I think I read somewhere that people used to be really scared of an eclipse because they believed it were the times when the devil was at play lol
My area had 98% totatility, but I really wouldn't have known there was an eclipse if not for reading it online. I took pics of the sun but it just looked a little less bright than usual.
Very anticlimactic.

Posted by csdude55oh how?? We've had heaps of posts about it coming... lol ?

oh show me the pic you took anyway ☺️ I'll still appreciate it xx
Posted by mehThat's what we noticed too. Very quiet, not even traffic noises. It's like everyone and everything just stopped for a couple of minutes.
The sunshine began to dim so I stepped out with the doggo for a bit.
Did the pinhole method:

It was pretty cool.
The shadows were crescent shaped.
(Now I need to try it without the eclipse to see if it creates a crescent shape then too.)
Definitely some stillness in the air.
A quietness.
Posted by WarAngel1VERY strange, my star app worked until 30-45 minutes before it hit completely....rebooted phone five times. No dice.
We had about 30% coverage here in San Antonio, Texas. The temperature dropped just a bit. It was cool.
cyber hugs! Love,
Eva
PS: I DVR and cannot wait to see it at home.
This was at 98% totality... maybe it would have been better with filters? As it was, though, I couldn't really tell anything other than that it was a little dimmer than usual.

Posted by csdude55That's pretty much how it was here. Most people forget we're just seeing the moon's shadow. The sun is obviously the biggest object in our solar system. You would need an object extactly the same size or bigger then the sun for total darkness. Something bigger then the earth itself like Jupiter for instance would probably make total darkness, but that's impossible.

In here in Nashville, TN and we had Totality at 1:27 p.m. Central. It was awesone!
Not watching, but all that mingles with with the moon, specially full moons and eclipses make my astrological mind blow.
Posted by MysteriousDreamerThat would have been great to experience, with the fire works and everything! What a good idea though! ??
It looked pretty cool through the glasses, but would have been a lot better if it wasn't so cloudy here. Was at work and we all went outside during totality. It was a little eerie once it got dark and then it started thundering. They started shooting fireworks at the marina here during the darkness. Cool experience overall.
Posted by LostPiscesI know hey, all that is out there in our universe intrigues me so much!

I was not giving af about the eclipse,especially since it was very marginal where I live (only eclipsing the halo), but I did notice a remarkable dimming of the light outside, so i went outside, it was too cloudy but the darkness made for some intereting effects in the clouds
THE BLACK SPOT IN THE FOLLOWING PIC IS NOT THE ECLIPSE BUT JUST MY CAMERA PIXELS SATURATING

Right, but not in the middle of the day. Unless you're way up north.

A person who can communicate with spirits and other entities.
This is different to a clairvoyant who can predict the future, emotions and actions... or a path another will lead.
Do you believe you're a medium?
