I'll be at work, but the peak for us happens to occur during my lunch, so I'll be able to take pictures or video and whatnot. We only get 97 or 98% totality where I live, which is more than fine by me... I'd have to drive 2 or 3 hours for that extra 2%, hah.
I live not far from the totality zone, but I feel that it's not worth the headache of the impending traffic doom in my area to see it. My city is scheduled to have 99.3% totality. Plus, motel/hotel prices in those areas are upwards of $1,000, so it becomes cost-prohibitive to see it somewhat safely. It's still tempting, but I feel that I will have to be content in seeing one at 99.3% totality from the comfort of my own front yard.
We watched the same solar eclipse path, but was at the Eclipse Festival in Washington State. It put me through a range of emotions... Witnessing the stages of totality was mesmerizing, then scanning your horizon feels eerie before catching the diamond ring and return to reality. It was sometime before noon so there were zero drug enhancements for us... Until closer to our favorite performances
Thanks so much for sharing our "What are Eclipses" video, Mr. Beat! Hope you and your family have an amazing time. What am I saying, it's guaranteed to be an amazing time. TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE!!!! (we're pretty excited.)
the Arawak spoke a language that were native to other parts of south America and the Caribbean, the Spanish had already been in the area for a decade by the time colombus made his 4th voyage. Surely at that point they must have had native slaves who learned some Spanish and could translate Arawak or Spaniards could have transcribed the Arawak language and roughly translate when speaking to natives.
It's crazy I've been within 50 miles of the last 3 American solar eclipses 2017 - KC (99%) 2023 - Austin (honestly didn't notice it much) 2024 - Austin (should be my first total eclipse)
When times are good, eclipses are fine. But when times are bad, or seen as bad, eclipses are signs of worse things to come. You see what your eyes want you to see. Also your heart. Aloha 🤙🏼
I remember this...I think. I remember there being a solar eclipse (not total in my area I think) due to occur just as my son (who is now 12 in 2021) was coming home from school. I was very concerned that he would look up without protection (he is autistic and I knew the school van staff would not be able to get him to wear sunglasses). I rushed him in telling him to look at the grass (which he didn't do but at least he didn't look up) and...it never even got dim that day.
I’m a little late since I just found your channel but, I saw the 2021 eclipse from Huntington, Oregon. My uncle lived only 5 miles from the centerline so my father and I drove from California and we watched it from his front yard. Mr. Beat, will you be catching the one in April 2024? It’s totality will be more than twice as long as 2021. I’ll try to be in Texas for that one. In 2045 there will be an even longer one through N. California, SW Kansas and down through Florida. Even though it will be only 140 miles from my home I probably won’t make that one. It’s less that a week before my 96th birthday. 🥴
Just saw the forecast. It looks like it will be mostly cloudy in NW Missouri :(. I might be heading to central Missouri for that reason. Regardless, yes, South Texas in 2024 as well!
I didn't watch the solar eclipse when it happened in my country because i was busy playing Civ May have been a stupid choice since the next one will be in 110 years...
It's funny how real events get distilled into our culture: Mark Twain's "Connecticut Yankee", who saved his own skin by "blotting out the Sun," comes to mind. (Kind of interesting, given Twain's anti-imperial sentiments.)
Will you see the April 8th total solar eclipse? If so, how are you going to experience it?

Yes. I live in Grain Valley, Missouri, a suburb of KC. So I will be in almost 100% totality
that's the day I go back to school so that should tell you something
I'll be in Parkville to watch it!

Was up Mr.Beat been following you for a couple years now. Love the goofy/entertaining way you make educational videos.
I appreciate your support. It's so much fun making these videos, but more fun knowing that folks like you are out there watching them. :) Take care

+Socratica Haha you know it! Can't wait!
Thank you for being a bright beam of light in a media so muddy and dark
Aww thank you 😊
I love how this is recommended to me 1 day before the solar eclipse lol
It has been about a year since I started following your channel. Keep up the good work!
Hey Mr Beat! I am your filipino student! From c class
6 years later, I hope you made it in life?
@@oslonorway547me too…
@@oslonorway547fax we need an update
Gee, I wonder why this popped up in my recommended videos today…
How did Columbus talk to the natives they didnt speak in the same language
the Arawak spoke a language that were native to other parts of south America and the Caribbean, the Spanish had already been in the area for a decade by the time colombus made his 4th voyage.

Mr Beat i’m your biggest fan

Only a true alien would say that!
+E for Every Gamer + QUIET YOU :)
That's also what an alien would say!
Here on April 8, 2024, may this eclipse be as good as the last one.
I live in the northeast, so can't experience it live. There's gotta be a steam somewhere I'll watch tho
It's crazy I've been within 50 miles of the last 3 American solar eclipses
2017 - KC (99%)
2023 - Austin (honestly didn't notice it much)
2024 - Austin (should be my first total eclipse)

I live in Salem Oregon so I don't even have to leave my property. Which is great because the roadways are going to be insane.
Yes, they will be. Well enjoy this unforgettable experience.
Hopefully it won't be overcast, as Salem was during the last eclipse in 1979. I've been in a foul mood ever since.
I remember being at ground zero for it in Newport Or, my first time as well and won’t forget it.
Where I live was right on the path of that Solar Eclipse. All I had to do was walk out the front door and look up.
Great video as always.

We're going to Loess Bluffs NWR in Mound City, MO. Also hope to be in South Texas for 2024!

Beautiful area, btw!
Have you made it to South Texas?
@@ArthurSanford3706 Ended up in Hardy, AR due to Texas weather forecast. Was still planning Texas until last week! Arkansas weather was perfect!

Watching the solar eclipse from Austin today 😁
I saw it partially because I live far where it was total in South Carolina
We viewed it from partial distance and still enjoyed it
GREAT VIDEO MR BEAT
PS.I am not going to watch the solar eclipse since I don't live in the US!
Thanks friend! Hopefully there will be another opportunity for you to see one soon.
Mr. Beat Thanks!
Fun fact: a solar eclipse happened on my first day of college.
Aug 2017?
@@evanmurphey yes. It’s been 7 years.
Did you forget to add what video to check out? You point to the 🌙??
+Shannon Beat It's there as a card
April 8, 2024: I live on Long Island (NY). We aren't in the Path of Totality. I think it's going to around 90% eclipsed.
i will not be watching the eclipse , it will be like a total eclipse of the heart
4/8/24 I live in Toronto which isn’t in the Path of Totality but I’m going to Niagara Falls which I’m pretty sure is.
Cant wait for the partial eclipse in houston, but in 2024 I reasonably drive to see a total solar eclipse
Oh wow, looks like I can reasonably drive to that one, too :D
Mr. Beat see ya in 2024
I would really like to see it, but sadly (at least on that matter) I live on the wrong continent...
Aw dang, well I am sure there will be another opportunity in your lifetime...hopefully.
Haley was a rock'n'roll musician.
Ok well the algorithm is pushing this again 6 years later 😅
About time! lol
Let's recommend this on the next eclipse :3
Wow
Its april 8th
I might see the 2024 one
You should definitely see it. You will probably not get the chance to for the rest of your life after that.
The only way is to fly to a place for a total eclipse
Update?
I didn't watch the solar eclipse when it happened in my country because i was busy playing Civ
May have been a stupid choice since the next one will be in 110 years...

They don't
Not anymore, because, you know, science
Recommended after an eclipse. Hmmmm
Good video but can you drop the stupid goddamn squeaky voice? You can say "Humans" without making us cringe.
