Posted by TheRex,

It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen.  I saw the northern lights in Iceland but the most incredible thing I had seen before was at sun set as the sun was hitting Everest and the mountain kept changing colors.  Anything I saw before today isn't close to seeing the corona around the moon in totality.

Good luck to everyone today!  If you're able to see the eclipse, it will move you in some way.  Whether it's joy, tears, awe, or whatever.  If it doesn't, then quite frankly there's something wrong with you.  :classic_wink:

Still not quite sure where I'm headed.  Will grab some breakfast and then make a decision.  Pretty much know I'm not remaining in Indy (want to get as close to center as possible and avoid the extra traffic that will be occurring in the Indy area).

Spoiler alert.  Pretty sure I'll cry. 🥲

I tried taking a pic every 10 minutes or so.  Here’s a screenshot of them after I transferred to my phone.

Still shaking a little bit thinking about yesterday. Surreal. Awe. Joy. Humbling. I had a general location chosen, but not an exact spot. Upon arrival in The Forks, we had to skip the rest area becaus

Electronic sign on the highway on the way to work this morning said

"Eclipse today, no stopping on road".  

Oh, so its ok for us to come to a complete dead stop during rush hour for no apparent reason, but if we have a real reason, i.e. the eclipse, we're not allowed to stop?  Yeah makes sense.  🤦‍♂️

Sunny but wispy thin clouds this morning.  That will change.  Short range ensemble says lots of clouds for me but the thickness is very thin.

I'm sure many of you remember the "double rainbow" video.  Maybe MJ might be the viral sensation, this time with the eclipse. 😉

Saw a few of them.  Best one was in Massachusetts some years ago.

By the way, I did test out my eclipse glasses by pointing my car towards the sun, donning the glasses, and start driving.  Now I know the parking lot very well as I park here all the time, and it has no speed bumps.  Yet, after I started driving, I kept hitting a lot of speed bumps.  Also odd noises such as "owww" and "that hurts" and "hey watch where you're going" were heard.  All stopped after I stopped the car and took off the glasses.  Very strange.

How reliable do you think this?  Shows clearing here as the morning progresses.

I think they are decent, sometimes too pessimistic, at least up my way.  I honestly think you could get some breaks.

My wife and I and youngest daughter and a friend traveled on Saturday to Cleveland Ohio area to watch the eclipse. We have a friend who lives in Westlake Ohio and we're staying with him.  About 12/ 15 miles WSW of Cleveland.

Was a little worried about cloud cover looking at the models the last few days.  It rained overnight but at 10 am this morning we got sunshine and blue skies just to the west of us.

Current status.  Thin clouds.  Taken quickly with a cell phone and solar filter held on by velcro.  Plan on using my camera with a solar lens.
