Saw about 10 seconds of eclipse through the stupid clouds.

80% coverage here in ATL. it's crazy how bright it still was at that much coverage:

Looks like a cat eye.

I don't know why I thought it was going to get darker than it did.

haha, yep.

The streams of light did kinda look neat during some of the heavier cloud cover.

I was enjoying the eclipse on the deck with the dogs until some idiot started shooting off a rifle and freaked the dogs out. I swear, there isn't as much gunfire in Juarez as there is in this pissant little town.

Did he hit his target? The moon...

Your moon is upside down, bud.

Point of order: Is any of this actually 'weather'? I should think not.

Shut up, tif.

The clouds are, in fact, weather.

Best I got

Woah that’s a killer shot.

Is that a chopper in the air? Not weather related.

I would've put it in the Space thread but since everybody else was talking about it here.....and on the news, it's the meteorologist discussing it sooooooooo

Upon further review I think it's a bird

We get lots of vultures out here so he may have been up high

That is an insane backup

I'd scoped out what I thought were potential spots (using my "find some rural road where you can just pull over" strategy) before I left, and I picked some likely spots both in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I was originally planning on somewhere near Edinboro, but when I hit the traffic on 79 North before I was even at Cranberry, I saw that people were't taking the Turnpike and were all heading up 79, so I decided to divert to the alternate and head over to Ohio. Got there with plenty of time to spare.

Ohio really needs to install the "open road" type tolling systems at the Ohio border where no one has to slow down, because the red on that map on the Turnpike is just everyone having to slow way the eff down to go through the damn tollbooths. Got stuck there for like 25 minutes.

Heaven’s anus, Pennsylvania.

I'm just saying, after the scandal of the Great Earthquake That Nearly Flattened The Northeastern United States in 2024 and People Talked About It In The Wrong Thread I wanted to be sure everyone was observing proper etiquette.

I said the same thing last month heading to Sandusky Ohio
