TOPIC: Happy Eclipse Day to Everyone!

I hope everyone gets the best view possible and has a wonderful time! I do see Carbondale is in Totality, as are we here in Bloomington.

Dayton, OH looking forward to my 2:30 of totality in less than an hour!!

Out in Colorado, where I live, we only had a partial eclipse. I did get a fun photo of the shadow from a street sign pole.

I hope all of you in totality have great weather.

We're in totality, and they were predicting lots of clouds, but it ended up being perfectly clear with wonderful views. It has me wanting to travel to the next totality to see it again.

We came up to Lake Erie. I had never seen a total eclipse. It was absolutely amazing. Hard to wrap your head around what I saw. Incredible.

Here in Ohio we avoided a repeat of last eclipse's events (e.g., 10-12 hour traffic jams) despite an influx of half a million drivers because a lot of people at the town, county, and state levels spent two years planning for it and spending their eclipse responding in real time to situations as they happened. Schools and businesses closed to have fewer people on the road, eclipse-watching events were encouraged to have food/entertainment afterwards to spread the exit load, traffic light timings were dynamically adjusted in response to traffic, that sort of thing. Some bumps, but it worked.
