Are you in the path of the Eclipse? Are you going to see it?

I just saw it at 3:00+ at our home near Detroit whereas there was only a tiny sliver of sun showing.

Two things to add: how cool it got as the temp dropped quickly and how the birds stopped flying and stayed in the trees.

This morning I announced to the cats that I would be taking away the sun today and they should worship me and I would bring it back.

When one of them jumped up on the coffee table demanding I pet him, the sense I got was staff is funny, now it should shut up and do its job.

The eclipse was really odd here.
It wasn't too cloudy to see!

SE MI had only a partial eclipse.
90% or so.
The sunlight just got increasingly
weaker, but it never got dark.
It had a strange effect on my tenants.
They stood outside looking at the sky.
For the last one it was about 90% locally. It freaked all of the birds out. They just shut up. There was an eerie silence during it. That it was a bright sunny day probably helped. And it did get noticeably cooler for that short period of time. Cloud cover acts like an insulator so you probably did not notice any cooling.

And here it was very cloudy and only about 10%. Couldn't even tell. My brother went from the Houston area to I think San Antonio. He got two hotel rooms at Motel 6. It was not $6.00. I have not heard if it was worth the not $6 a room yet.

I had a very similar experience. I was at a park, and was one of the only ones there when I arrived at around 12:30pm. By 2:30pm there were probably about 60 or 70 cars there, and when the eclipse went total, it fell silent. People and birds.

It was pretty cool here. By the time the clouds parted enough for me to figure out where the sun was it was already half gone. And the partial cloud cover seemed to add to the effect. It got pretty dark here, not midnight dark but more like sunset. Which when you think about it was exactly what was happening, except the sun was "setting" in the middle of the sky rather than at the horizon. At the point of totality it reminded me of that movie - The Ring.

What happened was exactly what I knew was going to happen, but it was still pretty cool to experience it.
