The solar eclipse was mostly a bust on the West Coast

[Brother Buzz]

Bathed in clear blue skies, there was no discernable reduction in sunlight.

I viewed it under the shadow of a bush. Fun Fact: The hundreds of images of the sun were upside down.

3. Phoenix had about 2/3s

It was noticably darker for about an hour, and it was the first time I've seen one through eclipse glasses, so that was kinda cool, but it wasn't nearly as spectacular as my friends' pix from Arkansas and Missouri.

5. Stop whining. You guys get all the earthquakes, mudslides, volcanoes and monsters.

6. We had our chance in 2017

Watching on TV live brought back some cool memories from my childhood and more recently from 2017.

The Sun was totally covered.

11. In Chicago it's very sunny today and got a little darker and someone leant me their eclipse

glasses when I got out of a patient's home so I got to see the crescent.

14. Too bad

In NE Pennsylvania, we had about 95% coverage. It was terrific fun!

Of course, an eclipse is nothing significant. It's just an accident of orbital mechanics.

16. We got kinda dim and shadowy here in southwest New Mexico.

We had about 74% coverage.

[Fla Dem]

17. Even on the East Coast.

I live in NE Fla. All the stats predicted we would have 62% Coverage. While it did get a bit darker, if you didn't know there was an eclipse, it would not have been evident on the ground. Barely got darker.

Oh well very happy for all that got to experience a full eclipse.
