Where did you see it?That was incredible
I'm no expert, but it seems a few miles makes a ton of difference when you're on the border of totality. We're just east of Cincy and the sun dimmed for a few minutes, but barely, whereas from CNN it looks like Indy, Cleveland, etc. got near-total darkness.I'm well within the path of totality. Interesting. But uhh, not sure it lived up to the hype. Maybe I have to be right on the line? I'm actually closer to the center line than the external bound. Completely bright day, no clouds.
Bless you.70 degrees and sunny in chicago and the lakefront was bumping
good time had by all
Well I was smack dab in Indy and I though it would be cooler. From what I've read if you're in the path of totality, you get the full effect, the only difference is for how long. And it's really a matter of a couple minutes more. So we got 2.5 minutes of it. Closer to the very center line would have been maybe 2 more minutes.I'm no expert, but it seems a few miles makes a ton of difference when you're on the border of totality.

We were outside the "main drag" of French Lick a bit, so very, very quiet and I guess not that different from what folks would have experienced centuries ago (minus the overwhelming buildup and hype, and a few chillly-willy's in a cooler). I don't think it would have been near as moving an experience for me if we had done it in a city and certainly not somewhere like Indy Speedway or IU's football stadium, but OTOH some folks love the communal aspect of major events so to each his own.Well I was smack dab in Indy and I though it would be cooler.

It got dark, but more of like an eery darkness that sometimes accompanies a big storm coming. It wasn't like midnight. Actually, the biggest surprise to me was how much light a sliver of the sun being uncovered still provided. As in, the full sun was pretty well-covered, but it was still daytime sunny.We were outside the "main drag" of French Lick a bit, so very, very quiet and I guess not that different from what folks would have experienced centuries ago (minus the overwhelming buildup and hype, and a few chillly-willy's in a cooler).
