I'm visiting family in Missouri right now and we all went outside to see it, but it got too cloudy so I didn't get to see the sun that well. It was a bit disappointing.
I'm in the totality range so I got to see the world get dark like it was evening, but it only lasted a minute or so.

I didn't purchase any glasses, and had to watch it on the news, but it was still cool ^^ I wasn't in the path of totality, but I have a friend who was and he sent me a couple of really neat pictures
Farewell everyone<3

I wasn't in it's path but it seemed dimmer than usual around 2PM today, EST.
I spent the majority of the day watching it on the news and reading peoples aggressive comments about it on 4Chan. The usual.

Sadly I was not in its path... it got dim in the early afternoon, that was all. Someone I follow on instagram got pictures of it though so I did get to see some of it. Even if the pictures weren't entirely clear I can tell it must have been a truly amazing thing to witness (well, not directly of course lol).

I got to see around 98% totality, it was really wicked! I didn't purchase glasses (I ended up taking a few glances anyways) but we did make a projector and it was super neat to watch the progression of it.

damn clouds

I believe I was in the 75-90% totality range, which seems right based on my viewing. I bought a couple pairs of glasses off of amazon and headed to the local docs with my girlfriend and some school buddies. Luckily it was partly cloudy so I was able to briefly view it naked at a couple of points.



There were a lot of jellyfish at the docs for some reason, which was odd because I frequent the docs and have never seen even one there before. I read somewhere that the eclipse may distort their day/night behavior and they may have surfaced to feed? Sounds plausible. Forgive my ramblings, I'm a huge dork with this kind of stuff.
