I went out and didn't see much of anything. It was kinda weird in that; in the shade, it was like evening but, in the sunlight, it was pretty much normal but with a slightly dark "hue". Looking at the Sun, I didn't see any eclipsing. But, if I looked at the sky east of the Sun, it was darker than the rest of the sky. Just a narrow band of slightly darker sky running across the middle.
It didn't help at all that there were two clouds passing across the Sun DURING the eclipse and, as far as...

looking at the video I posted here, it was about 90% cloudy so, there was nothing to see but a burnt orange picture.
In a way, I tried that gag where you try to view it on the ground through a hole you hold up but, all I saw was sunlight and that was a moment before it went total. I ended up just yanking 3 days worth of weeds and feeding my attack bunny.

as planned i relied on "instant replay" so i searched n watched a video, from the observe in mexico! where total eclipse, to see total eclipse.

the sun disk was round all around, until a part on its edge looked uneven. a black flying saucer slowly slid over covering part of the sun.
i read that in different places, looking up, different edges of the sun got covered, bottom or side or betwen, depending on the angle.

here in new york 91% covered, so video was better.

Is Anyone Else Planning On Viewing The Total Solar Eclipse This Monday, April 8th?

We are right in the path where I live so I will check it out for the four minutes it will be total which is about 45 minutes from now.

That’s what we saw.

[FunkyMonkee]

Thanks! What I saw (and I was supposed to have gotten a 98% totality) was just THE SUN and a narrow band of dark sky heading east.

[Abbycado]

That’s cool! That’s really close to what we saw then. It was a bit cloudy but otherwise cooler than I thought it would be.

I didn't get to see any of the eclipse, but I DID see some of the effects from it. A dark band of sky heading eastward, and, on the ground, it was dark and bright at the same time. On my porch, the shady parts looked like early evening (7:00) but the lit up parts right next to the shady areas looked like high noon!

[Abbycado]

It was really weird to see it so dark. I noticed the birds going a bit nuts.

[FunkyMonkee]

They said animals were gonna flip but, the bunny in the yard didn't notice it at all and there were no dogs barking the entire time. Birds were just flying around as they normally would.

Yes I am watching it now. It will be 95% dark in about 3 minures

100% cloud cover

[FunkyMonkee]

We only had 2 but they both covered the Sun just as it was hitting peak.

I watched it online

[FunkyMonkee]

I tried to but, not long after it started, all you could see was nothing but burnt orange! It was too cloudy.
