Where I live I got to see it fully just for a minute and honestly wasn't expecting much but that was pretty cool to see. Looked like a black marble with a glowing v around it.

How was your experience baws?

It's easy to explain. Big rock orbiting Earth got in between Earth and Sun for a minute or two.

Kinda a dick move considering we need the sun for energy and life and all. a-hole moon.

America's eclipse was too much of an a-hole to show itself throughout the US. 1 of 5 stars.

Here in Seattle at 92% it didn't get that dark, shows how powerful the sun is.

Biggest take away was the noticeable temp drop.

Chick doing on the scene reporting for the WC actually started crying because she was overwhelmed.

Hell, if I can't look at it without the glasses I'd just as soon it be cloudy to see just how dark it would get at 1:15 in the p.m. here I live.

Hot Springs is dead center of the path of totality in 2024. So much for all the once in a lifetime B.S.

This only proves people, women in general, are way too emotional about shite.. I mean, they've only know about eclipses for hundreds of years..
