Misc Solar Eclipse Forecast

Today just confirmed to me that I will definitely be in totality in 2024 lol I dunno if I'll still be living in dallas by then but if I'm not I'll be somewhere in the path between texas and maine lmao

Partials are alright but meh it wasn't that great
 
Totality was totally awesome! I didn't get great pix with my phone. Temp dropped from 93 to 82. Will post some pix when I get a chance.
 
Was like sitting is Seat 36C - you'll have to search everything else in the site to figure that one out, and then realize JK ... :p

Picture that my sister was able to get. Probably the best one I have of totality.

It was nice here at about 98%.. Temp from 93.3 at 1250 to 84.6 at 1442 EDT.. Definite loss of "contrast" and Depth perception.. So quiet beginning about 15 minutes prior to peak. No crickets, but "evening" birds" started calling and saw 3 deer and 2 rabbits come out of woodline... ..
 
So I actually think I had 98-99% totality, I guessed 95 at the highest but looked on some official websites that said Augusta proper was 99.6% (I do not live in Augusta proper though, if this wasn't a consolidated county I'd probably have a different town/community name as location).

Again, a little surreal. Looking at it was interesting, seeing one of our semi-feral cats look weirded out because it's a little darker during the daytime was cool to see. Didn't look to see if any evening animals came out though.
 
Animals being confused maybe in totality but nothing here. Had my dog with me and it didn't have any impact on here

I did notice that i started hearing the bugs that usually come out late in the evening and also the skeeters became really mean and vicious and started attacking me.
 
Went to Gorges State Park for the event. We had a thunderstorm and rain during totality. Missed seeing the eclipse, but man was it dark!

Dang man, that sucks!
 
Did not notice the bugs where I was but all the geese got up at once on the lake to go feed.
 
Was on James Island in SC. Clouds let up enough for us to see totality but couldn't see any corona...just darkness. I'm really happy we got anything at all considering when things got started there was so much cloud cover I couldn't even tell where the sun was let alone see any part of the eclipse. Traffic was the big story of the day, took just over 5 hours to drive back to Charlotte (usually about 3 1/2)
 
Mine aren't as impressive as Storm5's, but I took most of them myself :p The one with the sun's corona was taken by Jeff Adkins in Kuttawa, KY (not far from my location). He had all the right equipment to capture the eerie blue corona, which I witnessed and will never forget! My shots of the totally eclipsed sun all look like moon photos, so I won't bore you. The 4 photos with people include my 86 year old mom, my sister and brother-in-law. The light changed from bright sunlight to darkness in a matter of less than 10 seconds as the last sliver of sunlight was obscured by the moon. The last pic is after the second diamond ring after totality, and shows images of the eclipse shining through leaves of a tall tree onto my car.
