Total Eclipse of the Sky

:kaukau: So today there was a Solar Eclipse that was reportedly "visible across the entire U.S.A." I hope you all liked it. However, I might point out the inherent dishonesty of the media. It was not visible across the entire U.S.A. I had my car break down in the middle of nowhere, heading down from Canada through the Dakotas. The nearest population center was 69 miles away. And I had no phone reception. Plus my phone battery was dead anyway. Not so bad -- at least I have an eclipse to watch, right?

 

During the eclipse itself, a giant thunderstorm came over South Dakota so heavy that we got flash flood alerts.

 

There's more. It made for a heckuva road trip story when the fam in Canada asked me how my trip home went.

Yeah, I heard some places had more cloud cover than others. Eastern Oregon had evacuations from a forest fire that was making the eclipse hard to see. (Luckily for me, it was clear skies.)
