Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I get people over hype shit
The description of it from my grandparents made it sound very eerie and cool. I'd want to go to a complete eclipse
I mentioned this in VC last night, but there's also this thing that happens, that all the clouds disappear during a total eclipse (excluding massive storm clouds)
No one quite understands why it happens
If I had to guess, since I have never heard of that, its that in the absence of light the thin clouds are less visible so they look like they go away. When there is actual light refracting through it, they are very visible
so they are still there
just its not making a mess of light by having tons of light bounce around inside the clouds
No, they actually cease existing pika
Not a light trick
Okay, then my next guess would be the sudden temperature drop
from having no light
I mean, I guess this also gets into wtf even are clouds
And I'm not an expert on that or anything
in the 100% path?
thats cool
Idk, part of me wishes I drove to be in totality again today, but it would have been a nightmare drive from Virginia
You should have just stayed in Ohio after the meetup
Replying to Jaz #hick_dead I live in Maine
Cool, should be good viewing from there
you would be in the perfect location
Rusp small rural town of like 2,000
Estimates 100,000 tourists
They've declared a state of emergency
Niagra falls is apparently crazy right now
since it is right on the path
Go to Canada tbh
US is going to be stupid crazy
I do not think Canada other than niagra falls will have crazy huge crowds
Thats funny
They shut down schools here
they were not going to, but they also do not want to risk having dumbass kids looking at the sun and blowing their eyes out so they just cancelled
not worth potential lawsuits
3:12 is when I am supposed to be able to see it
We have them
yeah we can see it here too
clouds cleared up
I'll take one when I go back out in 20 minutes
maybe
Try taking a photo throught eclipse glasses if you are not
I see
it came out better with our eclipse glasses
my mom took some pictures
I'll send some too, but I am curious about yours since you are in the total eclipse zone
I'm gonna go back outside now, talk to you guys in a bit when its over lol
it's gone
