    a low of 30.

    we had a shower earlier and now it's thundering, but that's it so far.

    we drove back from Ohio yesterday and the traffic was heavy the entire time. there were multiple accidents and some construction, and at one point Waze routed us through Pittsburgh itself, where we saw a bunch of the city’s bridges. on the other hand, a different detour landed us in an Amish town, complete with horses and buggies. the experience was worth every inconvenience. i still can’t believe what i saw fewer than 48 hours ago.

    yes—the same place i saw it. really cool—great photo.

    truth. the air cooling, the bird chorus, the silence as the color and then the light drain away as totality approaches—that can’t be photographed.

    crappy phone picture does not do it justice. the sun had a black hole in the middle of it, and it was surrounded by white flames, with a red ball of fire on the bottom. and that was after the light quickly drained away leaving the aftertaste of dread. so incredible.
  7. Wxtrix
    yes!

    OMG

    about 15 min to totality here. it's cooler, dimmer, and the birds are singing. we have high clouds but i'm still hoping to see the corona at totality.

    clouds coming back, but the sun is still visible.

    we’re set up on the hotel’s patio. we’ve got lunch, wifi, bathrooms, and a good view of the sky. our initial choice had too many trees blocking the sky.

    clouds have cleared off:

    we might just watch it from the hotel patio since we’re not going to chase any further and we won’t have to fight traffic.

    we’re at our hotel between Cleveland and Akron. no problem at all with traffic.

    unless a sick passenger needs to be disembarked or a storm comes up, or the cruise itinerary is changed at the last minute. it happens a lot. we're staying south of Cleveland in a small town with just a few activities going on. we'll go to a local park if it's clear, and to the beer garden across from our hotel if we're socked in with clouds. i'm really happy to be able to see a total eclipse.

    steady light hail and gusty winds, 49F.
  18. Wxtrix
    clouds won't matter because you're not in the zone of totality.

    rolling thunder, pouring rain, and incredibly vivid lightning right now.
  23. Wxtrix
    there's a detailed post in this thread. read it.

    eclipse glasses should be ISO certified. here's the American Astronomical Society's list of approved vendors: https://eclipse.aas.org/eye-safety/viewers-filters
