Any of you drive anywhere for the eclipse? We live outside of Charlotte nc and are currently in Conway Arkansas at central Arkansas university for the event

I spent all morning trying to get those goofy carboard glasses on my outdoor cats. I'm probably going to go lie down and won't get to see it.
Same here. I’ve never seen a total eclipse before. I thought it wasn’t going to be much different than the one we had in 2017. I was way wrong. I feel silly saying this and as of around noon today, never imagined saying this, but it was spectacular.
The whole experience was awesome and even worth the 5 hour drive home from Erie. 🤯
Incredible how dark it got and Erie. All the animals started started chirping. Better than 2017 for me.
I had to visit a customer up north yesterday, so I went over to Conneaut Lake and took in the eclipse. We got lucky because 15 minutes prior to totality, the skies cleared up. I really did not know what to expect, but it was truly one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed. Seeing everything go dark, the temp dropped and with the glasses you got to see those solar flares and stuff. Really cool.
Now memo....to those native of PA, you mean to tell me you could not figure out another route other than I79 to head back towards the Pittsburgh area. I avoided it like the plague and just hit all back roads.

My in-l;aws took 4 hours to go from my place in NE Ohio back to theirs in Western PA. Normally takes about an hour and 40 minutes. I80 was a parking lot.
Here’s a whole different perspective. As seen from outer space.

Total Solar Eclipse Darkens North America
Satellites gathered striking views of the Moon’s shadow from above as observers on the ground were awed by the Sun’s corona.
Yinzers love eclipses. Pitt football should have an Eclipse Day promo this fall. Would sell the place out
I don't think it was just "yinzers ya ****. Like you are better than they are.
