100% true.
After the absolute blessing of visiting the path of totality in 2017, I’ll just head outside for a moment today (~11:14am, California) to look at shadows cast by a tree’s leaves… but not expecting much of anything at all.
2017? Shouted at the sky. Folks next to us were crying.
I too live in CA, and i saw nothing. It was bright as fuck, blue skies, and it didnt even get dimmer or anything.
Best place to look was at the ground, they said. I did see neat shadows!
I traveled over 1000 miles to see the totality today! It was awesome and very much worth it!
How did you travel? Did you walk 500 miles and then walked 500 more?
Lol yup
It was written for today.
Saying something written for today is appropriate for today sounds like saying “that ambulance makes a good ambulance.”
Right?
I was right in the path of totality. It was the most magical thing I have ever witnessed.
A partial eclipse is to a total eclipse as kissing is to fucking.
The copium for <40% (me)
I’m in Mexico at a location that has ~50% totality. All day there have been drunk people looking up at the sky and screaming “Ohmigawd there it is that’s so coooool”. It’s cloudy here.
90.48% here and yeah. Wasn’t that great. Also cloudy. Still enjoyed.
About 85% here, amd the wild thing was how dark it got while also being a sunny day. Made my eyes feel weird just looking around outside.
We were in 93% and it was still a really cool experience imo. Seeing just the tiny sliver of sun shining thru was pretty neat with the correct eyewear. Our office just stood outside looking at the sky lol
