Just saw totality... One of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life.
My family and I were in Terrell, TX to witness the event. And I have to agree, it was completely amazing.

It’s completely surreal and there’s no reference point to it for literally every other normal day of your life. It’s distinctly abnormal.
Couldn’t be said more purely or more accurately. Seeing pictures of it is one thing, actually being in the middle of it and experiencing watching the shadow/darkness creep toward you and then looking up to see the corona of the sun in person was an absolutely majestic sight. Seeing the full eclipse of the sun in the full surrounding of where you are versus on a screen or in a picture is something that everyone should see given the opportunity. I understand, now, why individuals chase total eclipses. Four minutes in the path of totality is not enough.
It was worth every second and every penny spent to experience something with my family that I’ll probably never get to do again.

It was awesome seeing the shadow creep towards you from a distance. It was unbelievable how you don’t look at the sun with your naked eyes through the whole partial eclipse. Then it gets dark and you look up and it’s like a black hole swallowed the sun with the corona shining around it.
I don’t think I’ll ever be as surprised again as I was when I looked up and saw that.
