Wow, it was weird. We sat on our patio and saw a 99% cover. If we had moved over to our garden in the ghetto less than a mile away, it would have been 100% cover but then it is dark there where there are regular shoot outs, so staying in a bit of light is good.
we had clouds and it appeared to be no big deal but people with kids made viewers and were excited, school is not in session yet
We had about 2 min at 99% coverage. The crickets were singing and the temp dropped for a little while.
At 69% coverage it darkened a little; I was surprised at how much the temp cooled and then soared reheating when in full sun again.
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
Does the moon get really hot during the eclipse?
Probably not any hotter than any other day as it whirls around earth and gets on thw sunny side of the planet. The only difference is that it just doesnt get directly between us and the sun most days.
So the universe, apparently not wanting me to have a boring day after such an exciting one yesterday decided to wake me up at 5:26 this morning with a small earthquake!
Absolutely the most wonderful beautiful moment I have ever seen in nature. It was worth the 20 round trip drive.
Oh no! I wonder if they're connected?? You just never know what plans Mother Nature has for us, and what connections she has!
