  1. wait....we need to do this....i would totally zoom.......it would have to be with a threat out there inside 96? 84?.......whether or not my video is on i'll defer to later......
  2. you should go back to 10-11 to capture january 11 and feb 2013.......those would be the A++ and A+ seasons
  3. A kill rate that high wouldn’t be sustainable on the virus side.....it would just burn itself out I think.....this virus is new and just lethal enough to kill and spread at the same time....most survive while spreading it.....
  4. You could make a super bowl team out of the players on IR all by itself.....
  5. Damn.....I slept through it....something I miss from CA.....
  6. Until its inside 240 come on guy.......even then......that feature has been there for several cycles so theres that but lets not get carried away.....
  7. Lol....I’d love to see what they’re seeing to include Hartford County.....or why it goes until 8pm.....
  8. Welp today was the great 2019 summer - wait winter total solar eclipse - down in South America....images looked great....very much reminded me of 2017....loved chasing that in Missouri....a great life memory...next total solar eclipse is again in South America 12-14-20.....countdown to the great North American eclipse in 2024 is on
  9. Oh wait.....Nevermind....it’s July 2 not June 2....lol
  10. We have some local events coming though.....a few over like 20 years....I’ll have to look up
  11. Bro....was just looking up next total and it’s on Sunday man.....remember we were all discussing this so much when we were all chasing 2017....god that was so fun chasing to Columbia MO.....what a great experience......wish we were there in Chile in 36 hours.....
  12. Like 3" here in West Hartford.....whoever started this thread forgot to add Meh to the title.....what a joke....
  13. It's high stakes cuz they don't happen very often even if you are willing to go to where the next one happens.....like I almost gave in and just stuck with my original target in NE.....but I just couldn't after all the planning and work....I knew it would be a marathon....and it was worth every bit.....
  14. Nice....damn guys now I want to really do it......cruise would be great
  15. No question....would be awful....but going to Chile and it being overcast would suck too....seems it could be difficult to divert down there.....also not sure about infrastructure necessary to even monitor that type of thing....I mean in Nebraska and Missouri I could look at visible sat and radar in seconds....and decide very quickly where to go....
  16. I mean if you compared the cost to get to Chile and accommodations and transport - maybe pay to be in a tour group - and then add two weeks and turn it into a vacation.....it's probably a wash....give or take
  17. https://www.travelquesttours.com/tours/2019-south-pacific-cruise-to-totality/pricing-terms/ $7,900 per person for steerage $20,000 per person for bull market suite
  18. For $10,000 you can book on a 2 week cruise and see the eclipse in the Pacific.....with stops at Pitcairn Island, Bora Bora, and other south pacific islands.....seriously want to do this
  19. To get the 6+ minutes for that eclipse you need to be in Tallahassee......when it makes landfall in Eureka, CA totality is only 4min 24sec.....lol....I would kill for even that..... I guess the length of totality is related to how close to the earth the moon is when it crosses in front of the sun.....
  20. I think the magnitude and awesomeness of being in totality has great potential to change peoples minds......moreso than a lot of other awesome things.....its why I don't get it when people are dismissive about it or borderline insulting about the effort you put in to get in totality......I'm saying just try it once......
  21. Although I also found that if I stuck to the interstates I never was out of LTE service so that was a bonus on Monday when I was coming down 29 and then east on 70.....always had good info
  22. I used Google Maps and downloaded the areas where I thought I'd be out of cell service.....worked very well....
  23. Ya I tried to find the shadow bands but didn't have anything light enough to see....I wasn't too worried about it....I remember at about the 2min 15sec mark looking away and peering west and saw this onrushing light.....that was very memorable.....here it comes I thought and then I looked up and the ring popped and it was all over.....and I remember thinking damn it was so short but so tremendous....
