Eclipse

Best I could do. Cloudy.

Nice. I have 29 more minutes until peak.

Cloud cover is so thick couldn’t see the sun before anything started, as is typical of this area…

Took a selfie while I was at it.

I peaked about 22. It happens.

Just peaked here (SC, 3:13pm EDT). My wife built one of the Boy Scout viewing boxes to save our eyes.

Pretty cool!

This was I got with mine. This was about 30 minutes before peak. It got even more cloudy during the peak so I couldn’t see it all.

I used my box wrong, I thought you were supposed to look THROUGH the pin hole :joy:

And that’s why Florida didn’t let any of their kids go outside during the eclipse.

Veronica and I drove down to Bowling Green University in Ohio.

Some people used a colander to view the eclipse

I guess it doesn’t strain your eyes. :person_shrugging:

I put my safety squinters on to make sure I didn’t go blind :expressionless:

Did you drive down as a spur of the moment thing or did you planet?

Did Betty already have plans?

Didn’t matter. If I would have asked Betty, Veronica would Lodge a complaint.

Milwaukee WI via my Pixel through eclipse glasses. Not the best shot but not bad

I went to SW Arkansas where there was 4 minutes of totality. My pictures don’t do it justice. It was WAY better than Epicor.

Flew up north to Lyndonville, VT w/ a friend (had a reservation in Rochester, NY, but we saw the clouds coming, so headed for the nearest clear sky). Seeing the solar flare shooting out was amazing!

Looks like a nice flight too. You fly yourself?
