My dad sent this to me this morning, we saw totality for the 2017 one and now my partner and I are in Cincinnati to head into the path tomorrow to see it
I genuinely can’t emphasize how amazing it was to see. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
It sure fucking did
With clouds covering the sun and moon, all there was for me to see was the show on the ground, which was so intense. It felt like being in Subspace from SMB 2. You're in the world in the same shape as usual, but it's a lot darker than it was literally seconds ago. I couldn't get over it being not just an effect but how reality really was for those minutes and just walked around looking at things both near and far. I think if I were a kid, I would have been running around. I didn't see anyone else, young or old, get the spontaneous wanders.
