I got to see! Photos do not do it justice. It was incredible with the clouds. The black disc with the rim of fire and big flare on one side all framed by clouds.
I could hear all the kids cheering too
If you saw it, imagine the totality framed by the clouds in the last picture
Clear skies and 98.9% totality in upstate NY. Good times!
Squeeee!
Ten minutes out from the total eclipse. We got a nice halo effect going on.
ETA: Totality was gorgeous. Wish I could pocket it to re-experience it on a rainy day.
Watching the reactions on tv, I wish I’d driven somewhere to see it.
Totality was the shortest 4 min ever! Glorious!
Other viewer with good camera and filters captured a solar flare
No words
I heard it described as “If you’ve seen a partial eclipse, you tell your friends. If you see a total eclipse, you tell your grandkids.”
Kii-kitten’s teacher sent a short video of the kids during the totality. They were so cute glad we let Kii-kitten go experience it with their friends
That was amazing, the clouds got so dark!
There was a brief glimpse of the not quite total sun-sliver through the cloud layers. The birds are doing their dusk calls.
Wow. Cold, dark, and awesome. I went the “furtive peeks” method because I wanted to see it naturally. Totality was very, very cool.
It did get noticeably darker here for a bit.
It really was something. Nature is amazing.
99 point something percent here. Birds did indeed do that dusky thing, and shadows got weird!

Not going to the Musk website but is that post a joke about Joe’s signature aviator glasses, Trump’s infamous staring contest with the sun or both?
Both. A Biden PSA if you will.
The Biden crew has a great sense of humor
