Today’s Eclipse- anyone else in the path?

[Guardians of the analog]

This at at peak eclipse from 98% it was fun, it was dark and now back the shit show of life

 

[pbrommer]

We had 80% coverage. It changed the lighting here (like someone dimmed the sun a bit). It's getting back to normal here, brightness-wise. I got to see totality in 2017. Nature is neat.

"path of totality" sounds like an album title or at least a song title

Everyone from my meeting went straight outside to check it out and there were hundreds of people outside already. Nothing is getting done here for the next hour or so, I wonder how much it's costing the company lol

I stopped working for five minutes to check it out, my employer fired me...

I really didn't like driving that stupid bus anyway.

100% just passed a few moments ago here, my wife and son came joins us to watch it at my workplace... just WOW. We've seen it through really light clouds and it was worth seeing it.

100% cloud cover here but the darkness during totality was still cool

 

[Fingolfen]

We were very close to the last one... way far away from this one... and it's raining anyway... because OREGON!

 

[Robert]

I hear car alarms in the distance, were they right!?

OK, everyone is still here so I think Mr Willis at the end of the street just lost his car keys....

We were blessed with cloud cover here because you know, Pittsburgh competing with Portland for rain days.
But I did see the face of Pittsburgh… on TV, staring at the Eclipse, wearing a Covid mask, but not wearing any protective eyewear!

Wow, it was awesome. Totally dark and it cooled down about 15 degrees. The corona around the moon was beautiful and amazing to see. Tried to get a pic, but it sucked, so I just enjoyed the moment.

[Robert]

Don't worry if you missed it, there will be another totality in about 4 hours... This one will last all night.

Also Ottawa area here, tried to take a bunch of pictures with my phone through a pair of eclipse glasses:

It got noticeably dark and cold even before maximum obfuscation, but it's still so remarkable that you can't even bear to look unaided at only 2% of the light of the sun. I made a pinhole camera as well and at the peak there was barely enough light to make a good projection.

Iceland in 2026

I’m down, Iceland is on the bucket list, that would be a two-fer.

Southern Ontario. North shore of Lake Erie. 100% view, mostly cloud free. Clear skies for the corona. A splendid day indeed. We had some friends drive down from Toronto. They brought the kids. We had a lovely picnic. The temperature drop was freaky. And the four minutes of darkness was a trip. Dark enough for the street lights to turn on.
But the highlight of the day was getting my latest Pedalpcb order in the mail this morning. So now I can get back to building. Woo hoo!

 

[JTEX]

Totality here in Montreal, on a beautiful day. There were thousands of students out and about on the McGill campus, and there were kiosks handing out free goggles. Good times. I was slightly surprised that the sun came back out from behind the moon, tbh.

 

[Diynot]

The view from Louisville KY at ab 5min to the 98.9%

A giant dark cloud obscured the peak though. Watched it progress from around 2pm EST to shortly after the peak.
