    Pretty high probability some sort of terrorist attack along line of totality, just a matter of where.

    Gonna go with early in the path, so as to create panic with resulting chaos along rest of path as everyone tries to retreat.

    DOT already has traffic warnings on their signs for the 8th.

    Heading up to the ADKs for full blackout. Told the kids we have to leave by 6am to avoid the logjam on the 2 lane highway into the mountains.

    Will be hiking 5.5 miles back rain or shine, to a remote lake with a leanto. It is mud season. Will bring fishing pole for some Brookies.

    They say Venus, Mercury, and Mars will be visible.

    I’m heading to Rogers Texas with my kid, supposedly will be cloudy but it’s only a couple hours away via backroads.

    3 minutes of totality vs 30 seconds 17 miles East….weird.

    Clear in LA but only 47%

    Peaked 4 min ago

    Considered paying the big $$ to travel to see, but forecasts were scaring me.

    Turned out it cleared up in a lot of places forecasted to be cloudy. Almost booked a trip to Cleveland last minute, which turned out to be sunny.

    Oh well.

    Yeah it was cloudier where I was going so stayed in Ohio. I’d say it’s about 80% right now. Peaking right now

    I have full eclipse here. Pretty damn boring but better than working on a Monday.

    Was a better experience than I anticipated. You should have come Druff.

    Totality was worth the trip

    In 2044 I’ll stay the next night… 7 hour drive from NH to MA (usually under 3)

    Fantastic picture

    The temperature drop during the eclipse took me by surprise.
