Its funny how people want to see what the birds are going to do during this. My guess, as like in the '79 eclipse, is they will go to their roost.

a real devious super villain would take over the internet, tv, and cable..... just before the eclipse, flood the airwaves with a naked picture of Rosie Odonnel.. Everyone jumps at the opportunity to burn their eyeballs out, even lesbians, and the gays.. Bam world chaos..

If it stays cloudy all day, am I going to see anything? Or is that what the solar eclipse looks like a real cloudy day?

I wonder if Soros is paying to protest the moon as an obstructionist today? $$$$$$$$

Definitely was surprised how much of a temp drop we got at peak with only 84% coverage. The fish scale patterns on the ground were pretty coo.l

UPDATE:

anything less than a total eclipse is a letdown

 

[Bed Wetter]

I'll wait until ND is in the path of th total eclipse in 2099. Today was a snoozefest

 

[dean nelson]

Looking up was ok but the shadows were my favorite.
