Eclipse.....
Where I'm at in Southern Illinois, total totality hit around 1:20 central time.....I drove my Beast to work with but glad I didn't drive it too where we went.....I've been sitting in traffic for an hour lol. But I have never experienced something like that. The cosmos is an amazing thing. Picture don't do it justice just how dark it got out.....1503343888418.jpg1503343918985.jpg1503343932529.jpg1503343954216.jpg1503343965976.jpg

My wife and I got to view the eclipse through the special glasses we bought a few months back. Was amazing, even though 96% where we are.

Re: Eclipse.....
Just 89.2% here. Cleaned the lens on my arch welding helmet, folding chairs at the ready, counting down the minutes...a friggin thunder shower moved in - couldn't see a bit of the eclipse - just got a little darker is all... Rats. Well, it did clear off in time to see the last 1/4 of the eclipse disappear. Big let-down....

Ha Ha--I knew I wasn't the only guy using welding goggles! (photos courtesy of my wife who thought I was nuts). We had about the same coverage as Paul and some clouds, but the clouds thinned enough from time to time to allow a view of the eclipse. Quite a sight. As was I. --Bob

Re: Eclipse.....
Sat in the front yard and watched, but was only 96% here.

Re: Eclipse.....
We had about 60% here. Just kinda' get a weird color out.
2024 (7 years from now) we get a total about 3 hours north of me. My brother owns a rental right in the path. Anybody in the States wants to see the total then, that's the only place in the states it will be total. |
