Totally the same experience for us in Irving…..we were trying to get east of Dallas but I kept seeing that cu field getting closer so I bailed in Irving and camped out in a vacant parking lot…..we only had some annoying stray clouds right before - like 30 seconds - totality….and then poof….it disappeared right before went total…..just as amazing as 2017 but better with the lack of clouds and twice as long…..

Shadow bands…..we saw them too in Dallas…..

Wow wow wow enjoy guys further northeast that was amazing full corona Jupiter

Can totally feel it

Shadow bands!!! Fuck a duck

Oh shit Dallas!!!!

Oof - we’re scheduled to fly out 10:30 tonight to Reno…..hopefully we get good eyes on eclipse…..

Happy chasing everyone…..halfway to Dallas now…..cutting it close…..trying to get to park about half an hour outside DFW…..had to move flight to next one out of LaGuardia

Dallas is still in play

I'm sticking with TX and will see whats what.....climo will save us in the end right? lol Enjoy your eclipse - its the only eclipse you got......

That is a cool site….definitely bookmarked….

Gonna need to keep building that ridge eastern half of country.....I am so nervous with my plans for Dallas.....

Also it’s embarrassing the airfare gouging happening…..not cool

Initially flying in Monday morning was the only option but our plans changed and now the change of flights would be way too expensive…..the logistics of trying to chase this thing and get to Reno later are a lot….I’ll be regrouping tomorrow….man

What is your reroute plan if you needed to? We are flying into Dallas and landing at 9:00ish that morning and getting a rental car….we’d have about 3 hours to get rental and go to a target but that’s only gonna buy us like 100 miles radius tops, which if there’s significant clouds won’t work probably…..I’m getting nervous for sure….we spent way too much dough on the flight and it’s part of a larger vacation where we leave Dallas that night to Reno for snowboard vacation in Tahoe….the logistics are a nightmare….. Were you prepared to fly elsewhere or get in earlier and drive further?
