2028 END In my experience of previous eclipses, at the time of the Eclipse, everything will go very quiet as people stop what they are doing to watch it. There is a strange eeriness for a period of time.
More total eclipse of intelligence and truth. The last total solar eclipse viewed from contiguous United States was on Feb. 26, 1979 and not 1918. There will be another in 2024----it is not such a rare occurrence especially taking in the whole spherical planet. The 70 mile wide band is a bit off because of the shape of the moon, the angle, and the height of the land. If anything, this proves that the sun would have to be at the very least, 100 times larger than the Earth and so could not fit within the fictional firmament. This is an end time sign alright, it foretells the end of the Earth in another 2.8 billion years.
People in Alabama are going to Nashville to watch the eclipse. They said it will be 100% covered there. Our local news said we would still get 97%. I can't see driving the 2 hours to Nashville for 3%. That almost sounds like a Sprint commercial. Don't let 3% of darkness for a couple of minutes cause you a MINIMUM of a 4 hour drive without traffic.
The difference between 100% and even 99% is huge. I know its only 1%, but you have to be at 100% to for it to get completely dark. I am driving 450 miles that day so I can be in 100%.
I understand what you're saying. They said that in places where it's 100% that it will get completely dark and the stars will come out. If that's what you wanna do that's OK. I just don't wanna drive that far to see it. I know 97% will be a big difference but it will still be cool to see how dark it actually does get in the middle of the day and being at home at the same time.
The Nashville tv stations are talking every night about all the traffic, etc. hotels are booked solid, & people won't be able to make it to work. We're the largest city in the path of totality, so it's gonna be a mess.
I figure there will be a massive traffic jam Monday evening after the eclipse. All the hotels are booked solid but you're gonna have people on the road that don't have anywhere to stay. Nashville will be completely dark for 2-3 minutes. After that everybody will try to head back home. I'm fine with 97.9%. They upped yesterday from only 97%. It won't be dark enough that the stars will come out here but it will still be something to see and by staying home I'll avoid the traffic jams. Takes a little over 2 hours to get to Nashville from here. Going back home after the eclipse would probably take 6 hours or maybe more.
BamaDan197319 Tho roads will be totally gridlocked! There's a football game Sunday, & I think most people will stay for one of the watch parties. Also, it has rained every Monday this summer, so unless the weather patterns change the eclipse won't be visible.
I was lucky enough to have been in Portland Oregon for the 1979 total eclipse. Watching it go from day time to night time and back again to day in just a few minutes is a most unique experience. While the show in the sky is the main attraction, be sure to take a few moments during totality to look around you. The animals may act unusual, such as birds that started the day only a few hours ago now returning to their roost for the night, only to have the sun come back again two or three minutes later. Perhaps the best way to describe a total solar eclipse is that it isn't so much an event you watch, but an event you experience!!
namaste @King of Nothing 6 days ago Thank you for sharing your experience! Sounds awesome, eerie and altered state of mind without any substances natural or man made of any kind!!! lol #OutOfThisWorld
@ Sage Wiser. An eerie experience, definitely. An altered state of mind experience, Nope. At least not to me. For Scott Oswald. Never heard of something called solar snakes. I would have liked to have seen the diamond ring, but I didn't have any eye protection for proper viewing. Also the the overcast day in Portland didn't help. A poor man's way of watching the eclipse before and after totality is get a cardboard box. To find the correct size box, turn the box upside down and put your head inside the box. The bottom of the box now becomes the top of the box. The side of the box in front of your face is now the front.The side behind your head is now the back and so on. The front of the box should be about 6 inches from your face. Now choose the left or right side of the box and place that side against your ear. If you chose the right side, then make sure the left side of the box is about 6 inches away from your left ear. Vise versa if you choose the left side of the box. You can now take your head out of the box. Only three more things needed to complete your eclipse viewing box. 1. a white piece of paper(6x6 inches should do nicely) 2. a piece of tape or glue. 3. something pointy like a nail, pencil or pen. (anything strong enough to poke a small hole in the cardboard box is fine) Now tape or glue the white piece of paper to what is the inside front of the box to the left or the right side of the front. The white paper will be the screen on which the image of the sun will be displayed. Now get your choosen sharp object and poke a small whole in the back of the box. BE SURE THE WHOLE LINES UP WITH THE WHITE PAPER (keep the whole small. about 1/4 inch in diameter) Sun light will now shine through the whole in the back of the box and cast an image of the sun onto the white paper. Remember to see the sun on the paper you have to face away from the sun . Practice for several days before the eclipse day getting the suns image focused on the paper so you don't loose time learning this during the eclipse. This should go with out saying, but please be sure your head is in the box while watching the eclipse. **many directions can also be found on the internet on how to make various kinds of pin hole eclipse viewers!
No, there shouldn't be a traffic jam during the eclipse because everyone who is traveling to see it will already be where they need to be for the event. I would imagine it's probably going to be like a holiday weekend similar to Memorial Day or Labor Day.
Can you imagine half the driver's on the road in america not knowing about the eclipse? It could cause alot if chaos, calling 911, not paying attention while driving. Ppl can't drive as it is.
its not that dramatic...im 57 and expeinced one many yrs ago....it just has a weird shaded effect...like you have light tinted sunglasses on...its a weird looking tint...but not dark or black....
Erin Sullivan I live in Portland Oregon where traffic is already really bad. We have people coming down from Seattle, and coming up from L.A. I see on the news just about every day that Portland will have the worst traffic in recorded history because of this eclipse. I'm not surprised because Portland is already one of the worst traffic spots in America. I won't be surprised if bad things happen here
Erin Sullivan reports have already come out that hospitals are expecting a huge influx of people and the unexpected volume could be dangerous. They have stocked up on emergency supplies.
I remember the solar eclipse on August 11th 1999. Me and my mom went to Stuttgart to watch it. The longest traffic jam i witnessed was around 228,6 Miles.
I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We are barely outside of the path of totality. We will wind up driving north to a little place called Dunlap. The only thing I'm afraid of is the traffic. I'm hearing that up to 1.5 million people will be coming to Tennessee alone. I have a friend from McMinnville who says that Chinese tourists have bought every room in town and some people are even renting out their homes. If you have to travel to view it, make sure you have a full tank of gas and some food and water in your vehicle. Sounds like the roads will be jammed.
Oh, sweet! That will be great to not have to travel anywhere. Have you heard any details about what Dunlap might be planning? I hear some towns are having organized viewing parties. We were going to drive up to Athens or Cleveland but my gut tells me going up 75 will be a nightmare.
Me too! Not a lot of traffic involved. If you have never experienced an eclipse, you will be amazed at your reactions. Even knowing what is happening, it will grab you emotionally. You will understand why people who didn't know might start making sacrifices to get the sun back.
Lord Baramos For about two minutes the sun will be completely blocked out and you can stare up at the sky and see stars, so only for about two minutes will it not hurt your eyes.
I live in tiny town in Idaho along the path of totality close to Yellowstone. We are expecting a couple hundred thousand people coming into the area. Jackson hole is expecting close to a million. All these small towns don't have the resources to feed, house, and provide gas and water to all these people. Many farmers are renting out sections of fields for people to camp in. We are hoping that people come prepared with extra gas cans, water and food. The highways are expecting close a several hour delay and the airports will be over crowded due to the high number of people flying in from other countries. Needless to say, it's going to be crazy.
Katie Roberts Yeah where I am right now the news just said there is severe traffic and about 100s of people entering our town everyday, the numbers a growing super fast. ;-;
I am very pleased that my two brothers and children are going camping at the grandcanyon. We are from NewJersey and are very happy to to be part of this great event I hope the girls two 17 one 16 see this and express there feelings.I am very proud to be a American . Thank you and God bless
Kira Dunlap I just read that Nashville is the largest city in the path of totality. Wish I could get to St. Louis, which is south of me and in the totality path as well. Have fun!
I live in Salem Oregon and my uncle literally lives at the beach where the eclipse is said to start(Lincoln city) not only people from America are traveling to destination to see the eclipse but people from the world are coming to view it as well. It'll be a crazy amount of people who will see it and maybe those people will question the globe earth theory
I live in Springfield, Missouri, and college friends are flying in from California. We're all staying with other college friends who live just outside Columbia, MO and their land is the highest point in Boone County! We've been looking forward to this for a year! Menus are planned, wine is purchased, and my eclipse playlist is downloaded and ready to go! We children from the age of aquarius and though all in our 60's now, we're gonna be hippies again for a day--can't wait!
There are a lot of schools in and near the path of totality that have declared the day an inclement weather day because of the eclipse. I live just a few hours south of the path of totality, where we will get about 94% coverage. The school system I work for got eclipse viewing glasses donated from one of our local businesses. I'm super excited to go out with my 6th period class to view this once in a lifetime event with them.
Selena; If at all possible, place yourself in the path of totality. There is absolutely no comparison with seeing a 99% solar eclipse to seeing it 100%! This will be my 8th....I'm driving 600 miles to make it happen. Even at 94% the day will be very bright and you would not realize anything was happening if you didn't look up. It is in the 90% to 100% when so many odd things happen which are almost impossible to describe, but must be felt and sensed. Good luck.
BLACK HOLE ENTRY Unfortunately I will not be able to drive to the path of totality. I'll be outside with my 7th graders teaching them about eclipses, though.
nothing will happen, i saw that when i was 6 years old and i'm a big grown up woman now, and still watching this....God bless us to experience such beauty...
I remember the total solar eclipse of 1979. I was 19 years old. I laid on my back in my backyard, used welding goggles & binoculars and looked up at the sun. And sure enough, the moon was directly over the sun. I remember I saw the sun's flames shooting out around behind the moon, just like they show on TV. That was a spectacular event!
Rosanna Dover It's going to be total madness down there! I'm up north from you in Chi-Town. I'm jealous you will see a lot. Well, get ready I'll be watching from my porch :-)
Got stuck in the epic I-85 jam south of Greenville. Around 5 I wised up and returned to Greenville, SC for the night. My friend continued to Atlanta and got home around mid-night.
Traffic can only get so bad before people turn around., parking will probably be alot worse. accidents from alot of people on a deadline to get there will be an issue. There are always strange happenings around events like that. wish I was going
In the hope that this will clear up some of the misunderstandings I have read about the eclipse, I offer the following. FIRST the size of the moons shadow on the earth is 70 miles in diameter. That is why the path of totality is 70 miles wide. If you live or will be inside this 70 mile wide area you will experience darkness for two to three minutes.If you are not inside the path then you will only experience a partial eclipse and no darkness.The farther away you are from the path of totality, the less of the eclipse you will see. SECOND why eye protection glasses? Anyone who has tried to look at the sun with their naked eye for more than a few seconds on a sunny day knows how hard it is to do that. If you are outside of the area of totality, you won"t get any darkness and so eye protection is need to watch the whole eclipse. For those inside the area you will also need to wear glasses both before and after totality to look at the sun. During the two to three minutes of totality, special glasses don't need to be worn. THREE. The few minutes of totality is not the whole eclipse show. If you live in the USA (excluding Alaska & Hawaii) you will be able to see some of the show. FOURTH If solar or lunar eclipses were going to cause the end of the world. Us earthlings would already be LONG GONE.
My place will be getting 99% of it and I will be filming the whole thing, you probably won't notice the missing 1% so if you want to see it on video then I will be posting on the 21st :)
DMo dude whats with all this religious bullshit, like literally everyone says this shit year round, i hope you know people think the world will end every year but when it doesnt they just say it will end next year.
One important thing to note, and I don't see it mentioned often, is that it is critical to wear eye protection while watching videos of the eclipse on TH-cam, Facebook, etc. to prevent severe damage to your eyesight.
Pray For Jimin if you record it with your phone without using the right equipment and set up or something like that, it will damage your phone. I know this from my science teacher who has got all her info from NASA.
I honestly think that people are overreacting with this. The last one that I remember was when I was in 3rd grade (I'm 32 now) and we were just told not to look directly at the sun. My teacher cut a hole in a piece of paper for us to look at the eclipse.
Drove up from Albuquerque to sister's home in Cheyanne the day before. That day we drove up to Glenrock, Wy and camped out. Traffic going from Cheyanne to Glenrock was much lighter that I expected (probably most people had gone up days before). But the next day, after the eclipse was over, the drive back to Cheyenne, which normally would take 2-21/2 hours, ended up taking close to 7 hours.
The world isn't ending tomorrow and if it is and you want to be religious god would have already taken his people I'm a cristian I'm still here so stop worrying we're fine
Concerning the Revelation 12 Celestial Sign on 9/23/17. The Star of Bethlehem had Returned on 6/30/2015 and was Visibly around for some time. The Last Time it was Visibly around was the Birth of Christ 2,000 years ago. Jesus is the Bright Morning Star and the Light of The World. :-) Where this Eclipse on 8/21/17 and the Next Eclipse 7 years later intersect is Carbondale, IL, which is called Egypt and Little Egypt.
Venus, the "morning star" is also known as Lucifer - - the Light Bearer. No "actual" Star can direct you to a particular city on Earth no matter how bright it is. If 3 Kings from 3 different kingdoms followed Rigel, for example, they would simply travel West until they hit water.
You are correct. As to "Lucifer": that is the KJV translation of a Hebrew word that was used to indicate the morning star. Translation into Latin then anglicized, it became Lucifer. It does not actually refer to the Devil but the King of Persia who, like other empire builders, took magnificent names to themselves often expressing their belief that they were gods. Isaiah prophesies that this king "which di weaken the nations" would someday be cast down ... and he was. The astronomy of the 1st Century recognized several types of small lights in the sky: Astra (what we call stars indicating the "fixed" lights in the sky which followed the same arc over the sky every night) planero (I can't remember the noun form, but that is the verb meaning "to wander") which was applied to the planets. The light which the Bible calls an "astra" and is properly translated star in all English translations I know of, but was not a "star" in the modern astronomical sense. But the writers of the NT had no better word to describe it. To do what the Bible says it did, it would have had to follow no predictable path in the sky as both the stars and the planets do, and it would have had to hang low enough in the sky that one could determine what was directly beneath it. The only conclusion at which one can arrive, if one takes the Bible literally (and I do) is that it was a light specially created by God for a particular purpose. So far as we know, there has been none like it at any other time. Attempts to find natural astronomical events that fulfill the Biblical description are fruitless. BTW, the men from the east were not "kings" but "magi,". Why the popular song calls them kings is a mystery to me. The KJV calls them "wise men" maybe out of a fear to identify what they actually were: magicians, but not in the sense in which we think of it. Science and religion were pretty much run together and the priest class was the most educated class in many societies. They researched what might be loosely called chemistry and astronomy but put religious significance on the phenomena they observed. In the case of Bethlehem's "star," they were correct.
We drove from Elmira NY to Clemson SC on Sunday. I81 was a parking lot, we were at a dead stop on the highway at least 20 times, often not moving at all for 4-5 minutes, and then only at a crawl. There were similar slowdowns and stops on I 26, I 85 and again up I 81 coming home on Tuesday morning. Adding to the traffic hell, an accident between Blacksburg Va and Roanoke Va at around 2 PM Tuesday closed the interstate altogether. We were parked on the road for 2 1/2 hours, people turned off their cars (truckers shut off too) and there was an impromptu party, right there on the pavement of I 81 about 25 miles south of Roanoke. Try that on any given day. Traffic was bad enough, but that accident really made things bad. A normally 12 hour trip was 17 hours southbound on Sunday and 19 hours northbound on Tuesday. I asked a lot of folks I bumped into at truck stops etc and every last one of them said they were travelling to see the eclipse. We saw license plates from every state east of the Mississippi, New Jersey, New York and New Hampshire were particularly well represented. But we saw 'em all; Maine, Connecticut, Ohio, Pennsylvania... the entire east coast. At Clemson we saw plates from states south, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida etc, but Monday was Convocation Day at Clemson so many may have been there delivering their children to school. (but not a bad trick for a convocation, eh? A solar eclipse to welcome you to Clemson? How cool is that!?) So yeah, traffic was incredible. I have never sat at a dead stop on an interstate highway before. But that trip down Sunday took the cake and will live in infamy. We averaged less than 30 MPH for over 380 miles on I81 between the West Virginia border and North Carolina. This on an interstate with a 70 MPH speed limit.
limbu rebica just belive were not going to die it's fine some news stations think that it's going to happen and the other half thinks there's nothing going to happen so we don't know 😉
Hello, I live in Kansas City, MO just 40 miles south of St.Joseph, MO which the weather channel said would be the MAXIMUM vantage point in the US for the eclipse. They are warning locals NOT to get out on Monday. They said parking would be at a standstill on the freeways.
Ailill's in Charleston South Carolina for years, and you are right in thinking that it can be crowded very quickly. Even with just normal summer tourism it is already packed to the brand. So I'm sure this eclipse is going to really do some damage in the more tourist friendly parts of the state
Just saw an ad on TV from Dept of Water and Power that the eclipse is going to GREATLY cut down the amount of power available, therefore they are asking that everyone please cut down on power usage and not use air conditioners at night but switch to fans. Seeing that scared me a bit as it makes it sounds like it is going to last for days. I don't remember ever hearing an announcement like this with any other eclipse....hmmmm
I work for one of the largest piping companies in the Midwest. Drivers deliver parts and pipe everyday. I'm curious to how much longer their routes will take. Gonna be a crazy day for sure. Wish I could've gotten the day off :/ the vacation calendar was full for this day
I live in Murrell's Inlet, SC, in Horry County. Our view of the solar eclipse is only 99.8%. I'm driving about 20 miles south to be in the path of totality! Can't wait!!!!
South Carolinian here. They are telling us to prepare for traffic and tons of people meandering around. I'm not sure what to believe, im just gonna make sure my truck has a full tank and my cooler is full of beer. I'll be good.
As long as Nebraska isn't cloudy, I will be lucky enough to get to see Totality. Just a few hours away. Enjoy, and feel the connection with the planets, for those who will be in the 70 mile path.
Sucks ass that i am in pennsylvania, but in grateful that i get to see a partial solar eclipse. This is also the first solar eclipse that i will ever see in my life.
The 1918 San Fermín earthquake, also known as the Puerto Rico earthquake of 1918, struck the island of Puerto Rico at 10:14:42 local time on October 11. The earthquake measured 7.1 on the moment magnitude scale and IX (Violent) on the Mercalli intensity scale. After an eclipse.
Sad, I was just in Hopkinsville, Kentucky to visit my Grandma and aunt for 3 months. I live in Texas so I'm pretty disappointed that I won't get to see such a beautiful thing in person but I'll watch a livestream for sure :)
When I found out I thought booking a camping spot would be easy. Nope turns out most were completely booked months ago. I still found one tho. It's just pretty rare.
Nah, nothing is going to happen except a nice, beautiful, gorgeous eclipse of the sun. : ))) Can't wait to watch!!!
2028 END
In my experience of previous eclipses, at the time of the Eclipse, everything will go very quiet as people stop what they are doing to watch it.
There is a strange eeriness for a period of time.
2028 END might not want to look at it... Not very good for your eyes
perfect day for a False Flag
Ummm don't watch it you will go blind 😂

King of Nothing I am going to try to capture the solar snakes. Were you by chance lucky enough to see any?

Glitter World Well, nothing happened. What a suprise.
EmeraldBay can't be sure, might happen past night.
Glitter World Nope.

Will it happen in California??
Alyssa Martinez Yes you will be able to see it. It will not be total
Qronos16 okay thx
Alyssa Martinez np thanks for watching.
Qronos16 yup this video was really cool

So glad I live in the direct path of the solar eclipse.
Josùe Navarro you're so lucky 😭
make videos and post please
Me too
LUCKY YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IM IN LIKE 85%...BETTER THAN SOME I GUESS...
Ima skip school on Monday
SKILL3D-HD r whole school is excused so everyone's skipping lol

*Sigh*
SKILL3D-HD I'm not but it's gonna be lunch when the eclipse happens, so I get to see it while I'm outside!😆
I remember the solar eclipse on August 11th 1999. Me and my mom went to Stuttgart to watch it. The longest traffic jam i witnessed was around 228,6 Miles.
I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We are barely outside of the path of totality. We will wind up driving north to a little place called Dunlap. The only thing I'm afraid of is the traffic. I'm hearing that up to 1.5 million people will be coming to Tennessee alone. I have a friend from McMinnville who says that Chinese tourists have bought every room in town and some people are even renting out their homes. If you have to travel to view it, make sure you have a full tank of gas and some food and water in your vehicle. Sounds like the roads will be jammed.
Reese Navarro Yes I think you are correct. Let me know what happened when it's all over with. Thanks for watching.
Oh, sweet! That will be great to not have to travel anywhere. Have you heard any details about what Dunlap might be planning? I hear some towns are having organized viewing parties. We were going to drive up to Athens or Cleveland but my gut tells me going up 75 will be a nightmare.
Reese & Gordo - I'm in Crossville. Y'all come on up on 127 & view it from here.....
James Gibson im on the Bledsoe and sequatchie line im hoping i can see it from where im at
How long is it supposed to last up there?
Awesome video Qronos!!!!! Enjoy your vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since i live in NJ. I'll only see a partial view of it.

My mom watched a total solar eclipse when she was 20 and now she gonna watch it this year!
I don't have to travel any further than my back yard:) can't wait!
Gonna watch it from the front porch. lol
Me too! Not a lot of traffic involved.
If you have never experienced an eclipse, you will be amazed at your reactions. Even knowing what is happening, it will grab you emotionally. You will understand why people who didn't know might start making sacrifices to get the sun back.
Will it hurt my eyes?
Yes, without protection, definitely.
Lord Baramos
For about two minutes the sun will be completely blocked out and you can stare up at the sky and see stars, so only for about two minutes will it not hurt your eyes.
jakempoe same lol
Will I still be able to see it from arizona?!?
， 🌙 will we see it on 📺
Kuhk I'm going to see it I'm so Excited!!
Yes we will!!
Kuhk the whole us will see it
Kuhk duh we all have the same moon
I live in tiny town in Idaho along the path of totality close to Yellowstone. We are expecting a couple hundred thousand people coming into the area. Jackson hole is expecting close to a million. All these small towns don't have the resources to feed, house, and provide gas and water to all these people. Many farmers are renting out sections of fields for people to camp in. We are hoping that people come prepared with extra gas cans, water and food. The highways are expecting close a several hour delay and the airports will be over crowded due to the high number of people flying in from other countries. Needless to say, it's going to be crazy.
Katie Roberts I bet. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching.
Katie Roberts what part of Idaho? I'm in Ketchum and it's already crazy!
Katie Roberts Yeah where I am right now the news just said there is severe traffic and about 100s of people entering our town everyday, the numbers a growing super fast. ;-;
Lights Out where are you?
Katie Roberts Dang
I am very pleased that my two brothers and children are going camping at the grandcanyon. We are from NewJersey and are very happy to to be part of this great event I hope the girls two 17 one 16 see this and express there feelings.I am very proud to be a American . Thank you and God bless
We live where we can see it. We are going to stay home and hide out that day.
Virginia- Probably NOT a BAD IDEA!!!!
If I were you I'd lay out a video camera of some sort. Film it and sell it.
Lol im gonna hide in my house
DMo stop quoting bible verses your just creating fear .
belly tripper AYYY 😂😂😂
I'm in southern Illinois...just have to step out the door and look up! YAY! I have waited for this day for a LONG time :-)
Kathy Leaseburg What? You're not going to see Ozzy Osborn at Walker's Bluff?
OMG, I didn't know that was happenin! Thanks for the headzup T3T!
Kathy Leaseburg also in southern Illinois! Marion.
celebrate the greatest Total solar eclipse with this Tee texolive.com/total-solar-eclipse-america
Kathy Leaseburg I don't want it to happen 🙁 its a big sign from god
I'm leaving today from Maryland to Nashville. I've been excited about this for over year!
Kira Dunlap I just read that Nashville is the largest city in the path of totality. Wish I could get to St. Louis, which is south of me and in the totality path as well. Have fun!
Meh. Would rather go to the beach
I live in Nashville
Kira Dunlap IT'S GOING ALL AROUND AMERICA
When it comes on the first day of school and your teacher won't show you it
XxTrickyFeedsxX Don't go
Fuck your teacher. Just do what you want.
that clip at the VERY end was actually awesome for explaining why it had the path it did 2:19
I live in Excelsior Springs, Missouri......The eclipse will be right above my head !!!
Truth Hurtz Let us know if it sets off the New Madrid Fault
I think that you will know if it does.
Somewhere in Midland...
Griffith is rolling in his grave, regretting every stupid decision he ever made in life.
If there's going to be that much traffic, that means the solar eclipse would indirectly kill some people due to car accidents.
I live in Salem Oregon and my uncle literally lives at the beach where the eclipse is said to start(Lincoln city) not only people from America are traveling to destination to see the eclipse but people from the world are coming to view it as well. It'll be a crazy amount of people who will see it and maybe those people will question the globe earth theory
I live in Springfield, Missouri, and college friends are flying in from California. We're all staying with other college friends who live just outside Columbia, MO and their land is the highest point in Boone County! We've been looking forward to this for a year! Menus are planned, wine is purchased, and my eclipse playlist is downloaded and ready to go! We children from the age of aquarius and though all in our 60's now, we're gonna be hippies again for a day--can't wait!
There are a lot of schools in and near the path of totality that have declared the day an inclement weather day because of the eclipse. I live just a few hours south of the path of totality, where we will get about 94% coverage. The school system I work for got eclipse viewing glasses donated from one of our local businesses. I'm super excited to go out with my 6th period class to view this once in a lifetime event with them.
Selena Robbins That sounds good. Let me know how it turns out for you all. Thanks for watching.
Selena Robbins lucky im 28 and never seen one before
Selena; If at all possible, place yourself in the path of totality. There is absolutely no comparison with seeing a 99% solar eclipse to seeing it 100%!
This will be my 8th....I'm driving 600 miles to make it happen. Even at 94% the day will be very bright and you would not realize anything was happening if you didn't look up. It is in the 90% to 100% when so many odd things happen which are almost impossible to describe, but must be felt and sensed.
Good luck.
BLACK HOLE ENTRY Unfortunately I will not be able to drive to the path of totality. I'll be outside with my 7th graders teaching them about eclipses, though.
Selena Robbins damn lady you seem like a chill ass teacher I have no good teachers we need more people like you❤️
i just took a trip from springfield Missouri to Oklahoma city and government highway signs all along the way said "expect delays solar eclipse etc..."
Ian Shepherd Thanks for the update. I have been hearing that also from many people.
I live in Oregon right in line of its path. Took the day off to watch it with several others. Having an eclipse party.
Sj St sounds good. Let me know how that turns out. Thanks for watching!!!
Headed from Maryland to South Carolina to have my mind... TOTALITY blown! Can't wait!
nothing will happen, i saw that when i was 6 years old and i'm a big grown up woman now, and still watching this....God bless us to experience such beauty...
I wonder what it'll be like to see an eclipse from open ocean...
I'm going to Casper WY to see this
Columbia, Missouri for me! 10 hour drive from Texas.
But I'm in the totality path for 2024!
Heading to Greenville, SC myself. It's only a 10 hour drive for me from south FL.

Nice!!! Enjoy
Come on 2024! I'm in Texas too, right in the path. Can't wait, though, going to western Nebraska this time.
LOL! Your secret is safe with me.
Rip Alaska because
Colinz2 Gamming because?
Rip
Colinz2 Gamming probably the dumbest comment I've read
he didn't say why because it's obvious
Colinz2 Gamming I just commented on this guy's profile pic
I love the quick intro you got.
I remember the total solar eclipse of 1979. I was 19 years old. I laid on my back in my backyard, used welding goggles & binoculars and looked up at the sun. And sure enough, the moon was directly over the sun. I remember I saw the sun's flames shooting out around behind the moon, just like they show on TV. That was a spectacular event!
I'm right in Carbondale Illinois where they are expecting triple our population its crazy
Rosanna Dover Let me know if it gets out of hand. Thanks for watching.
Qronos16 they say we r gonna run out of food and gas I'm hoping it won't be that bad
Rosanna Dover I hope so as well. Please keep me updated.
Rosanna Dover It's going to be total madness down there! I'm up north from you in Chi-Town. I'm jealous you will see a lot. Well, get ready I'll be watching from my porch :-)
Rosanna Dover I can believe that. It's going to be crazy down there. I'm quite sure I'll hear about it being from Chicago. Have fun for me!!!! :-)
Cool it happens on my birthday
my birthday too
6 days from mine
Twisted Mindz Production Happy birthday!!! ✨✨✨
Twisted Mindz Production it's my bro' 25th bday today too
Twisted Mindz Production happy birthday its happening right now
LOONA Kim Lip really snatched america bald with Eclipse! We love stanning legends like LOONA!
Got stuck in the epic I-85 jam south of Greenville. Around 5 I wised up and returned to Greenville, SC for the night. My friend continued to Atlanta and got home around mid-night.
In 1970 The solar eclipse tricked my dads chickens into that it was night
How is 3 minutes of darkness going to effect the nation when it experiences 9hrs of dark every single day? You people need a new hobby.
Traffic jams
Richard This is a lunar eclipse
will it happen in Philadelphia?
Hanna the gamer it happens everywhere but unfortunately Philadelphia doesn't get to experience the total eclipse just partial
Traffic can only get so bad before people turn around., parking will probably be alot worse.
accidents from alot of people on a deadline to get there will be an issue.
There are always strange happenings around events like that.
wish I was going
I gotta work so I will take a break to watch. Got my glasses Saturday.
In the hope that this will clear up some of the misunderstandings I have read about the eclipse, I offer the following. FIRST the size of the moons shadow on the earth is 70 miles in diameter. That is why the path of totality is 70 miles wide. If you live or will be inside this 70 mile wide area you will experience darkness for two to three minutes.If you are not inside the path then you will only experience a partial eclipse and no darkness.The farther away you are from the path of totality, the less of the eclipse you will see. SECOND why eye protection glasses? Anyone who has tried to look at the sun with their naked eye for more than a few seconds on a sunny day knows how hard it is to do that. If you are outside of the area of totality, you won"t get any darkness and so eye protection is need to watch the whole eclipse. For those inside the area you will also need to wear glasses both before and after totality to look at the sun. During the two to three minutes of totality, special glasses don't need to be worn. THREE. The few minutes of totality is not the whole eclipse show. If you live in the USA (excluding Alaska & Hawaii) you will be able to see some of the show. FOURTH If solar or lunar eclipses were going to cause the end of the world. Us earthlings would already be LONG GONE.
major clickbait alert!!!
nothingis going to happen bruh so stop saying america is gonna die or something
Gobinda Katwal They're talking about traffic jams and small towns running out of food.
Someone will put it on youtube so ill watch it there
Or I'm sure the NASA channel will broadcast it live on TV.
I'm traveling to Nashville from Boston!!!
ThePatriot Atheist Awesome. Let me know how that turns out. Thanks for watching.
Qronos16 hopefully it doesn't rain...
zachary campbell I can't
ThePatriot Atheist Really...you realise the solar eclipse is going to go all around America right?
I live outside of Philadelphia, PA and I am so excited to watch even if I am not in the direct line of the eclipse!
Why does this guy remind me of the news guy from the Cleveland show 😂
My place will be getting 99% of it and I will be filming the whole thing, you probably won't notice the missing 1% so if you want to see it on video then I will be posting on the 21st :)
Will I be able to say it in Northern California? ;(
Yes.
Qronos16 ok thanks
White diamond Da dopest no like 13% mabey hardly noticable
See
White diamond Da dopest grass valley inda house. the earth is flat. water never curves.
OMG I LIVE ABOUT 15 MILES SOUTH OF THE EAST COAST PASS BY
And this will be my 2nd eclipse
DMo can you please shut the fuck up, no one cares about your religious bullshit
DMo dude whats with all this religious bullshit, like literally everyone says this shit year round, i hope you know people think the world will end every year but when it doesnt they just say it will end next year.
DMo Thanks for spreading the message man
One important thing to note, and I don't see it mentioned often, is that it is critical to wear eye protection while watching videos of the eclipse on TH-cam, Facebook, etc. to prevent severe damage to your eyesight.
When I was a kid in Pittsburgh in the 40's, we had almost daily eclipses.
Don't look directly at it! You will go blind
I can't afford those glasses. Can I watch it by videotaping it with my phone?
Pray For Jimin yes. Just don't look at the sun with your eyes.
Pray For Jimin if you record it with your phone without using the right equipment and set up or something like that, it will damage your phone. I know this from my science teacher who has got all her info from NASA.
They cost $2 in Salem haha
it's really easy
Eye Dr. offices are giving them out for free. Do not watch it through your camera. Also, unless you have a specific lens, it will fry your camera.
Will I be able to see the eclispe from folsom California
Ashton Dillard yes not a total eclipse in that location
Qronos16 so I can see MOST of it ?
Ashton Dillard an eclipse is an eclipse
The Champ I'm gonna be in school :( it's gonna suck :(
Im pretty sure your teacher will let you outside, I live in california too
I honestly think that people are overreacting with this. The last one that I remember was when I was in 3rd grade (I'm 32 now) and we were just told not to look directly at the sun. My teacher cut a hole in a piece of paper for us to look at the eclipse.
Drove up from Albuquerque to sister's home in Cheyanne the day before. That day we drove up to Glenrock, Wy and camped out. Traffic going from Cheyanne to Glenrock was much lighter that I expected (probably most people had gone up days before). But the next day, after the eclipse was over, the drive back to Cheyenne, which normally would take 2-21/2 hours, ended up taking close to 7 hours.
I will be at school during this👎🏼
The world isn't ending tomorrow and if it is and you want to be religious god would have already taken his people I'm a cristian I'm still here so stop worrying we're fine
When you put it that way I wish the world were ending. Anything to get rid of crazy religious people!
+kant I know right! They just need to disappear.
Concerning the Revelation 12 Celestial Sign on 9/23/17. The Star of Bethlehem had Returned on 6/30/2015 and was Visibly around for some time. The Last Time it was Visibly around was the Birth of Christ 2,000 years ago. Jesus is the Bright Morning Star and the Light of The World. :-) Where this Eclipse on 8/21/17 and the Next Eclipse 7 years later intersect is Carbondale, IL, which is called Egypt and Little Egypt.
Venus, the "morning star" is also known as Lucifer - - the Light Bearer.
No "actual" Star can direct you to a particular city on Earth no matter how bright it is. If 3 Kings from 3 different kingdoms followed Rigel, for example, they would simply travel West until they hit water.
TIMEtoRIDE900 .. you need a KJV Bible
As always, the bozo with "truth" in their username barfs-up a load of garbage.
You are correct. As to "Lucifer": that is the KJV translation of a Hebrew word that was used to indicate the morning star. Translation into Latin then anglicized, it became Lucifer. It does not actually refer to the Devil but the King of Persia who, like other empire builders, took magnificent names to themselves often expressing their belief that they were gods. Isaiah prophesies that this king "which di weaken the nations" would someday be cast down ... and he was.
The astronomy of the 1st Century recognized several types of small lights in the sky: Astra (what we call stars indicating the "fixed" lights in the sky which followed the same arc over the sky every night) planero (I can't remember the noun form, but that is the verb meaning "to wander") which was applied to the planets. The light which the Bible calls an "astra" and is properly translated star in all English translations I know of, but was not a "star" in the modern astronomical sense. But the writers of the NT had no better word to describe it. To do what the Bible says it did, it would have had to follow no predictable path in the sky as both the stars and the planets do, and it would have had to hang low enough in the sky that one could determine what was directly beneath it.
The only conclusion at which one can arrive, if one takes the Bible literally (and I do) is that it was a light specially created by God for a particular purpose. So far as we know, there has been none like it at any other time. Attempts to find natural astronomical events that fulfill the Biblical description are fruitless.
BTW, the men from the east were not "kings" but "magi,". Why the popular song calls them kings is a mystery to me. The KJV calls them "wise men" maybe out of a fear to identify what they actually were: magicians, but not in the sense in which we think of it. Science and religion were pretty much run together and the priest class was the most educated class in many societies. They researched what might be loosely called chemistry and astronomy but put religious significance on the phenomena they observed.
In the case of Bethlehem's "star," they were correct.

We drove from Elmira NY to Clemson SC on Sunday. I81 was a parking lot, we were at a dead stop on the highway at least 20 times, often not moving at all for 4-5 minutes, and then only at a crawl.
There were similar slowdowns and stops on I 26, I 85 and again up I 81 coming home on Tuesday morning.
Adding to the traffic hell, an accident between Blacksburg Va and Roanoke Va at around 2 PM Tuesday closed the interstate altogether. We were parked on the road for 2 1/2 hours, people turned off their cars (truckers shut off too) and there was an impromptu party, right there on the pavement of I 81 about 25 miles south of Roanoke. Try that on any given day.
Traffic was bad enough, but that accident really made things bad. A normally 12 hour trip was 17 hours southbound on Sunday and 19 hours northbound on Tuesday.
I asked a lot of folks I bumped into at truck stops etc and every last one of them said they were travelling to see the eclipse. We saw license plates from every state east of the Mississippi, New Jersey, New York and New Hampshire were particularly well represented. But we saw 'em all; Maine, Connecticut, Ohio, Pennsylvania... the entire east coast.
At Clemson we saw plates from states south, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida etc, but Monday was Convocation Day at Clemson so many may have been there delivering their children to school. (but not a bad trick for a convocation, eh? A solar eclipse to welcome you to Clemson? How cool is that!?)
So yeah, traffic was incredible. I have never sat at a dead stop on an interstate highway before. But that trip down Sunday took the cake and will live in infamy. We averaged less than 30 MPH for over 380 miles on I81 between the West Virginia border and North Carolina. This on an interstate with a 70 MPH speed limit.
This will be the first solar eclipse I've ever seen
Just watched eclipse SO COOL hope you guys enjoy to :)
Stacie Panton Yeah it was great
Are we going to die on tat day??😢😢😢😢
limbu rebica don't worry, most people are dumb. We'll be fine :)
limbu rebica just belive were not going to die it's fine some news stations think that it's going to happen and the other half thinks there's nothing going to happen so we don't know 😉
Dum Kit more like 1%
Don't worry just buy the glasses at Walgreens they have the real ones there and you won't die or just don't go outside on tat day
limbu rebica don't worry when you believe in god everything will be ok he will protect you like always
*WARNING*-you must were the special glasses-
I'm not traveling cause I'm watching it from my school
Kids DONT stay in school do drugs instead jk
Hi Bye was that supposed to be remotely funny?
Vyko Vy Xorxus u
Hi Bye smh
Vash The Rashid || 😂
I live right in the middle of the eclipse so all I have to do is walk out my front door lol
I'm going to check the trash tonight for discarded glasses, for the next eclipse! lol
A friend who lives in Oregon says people are already camping out wherever they can pitch a tent.
Who else has school even though their will be an eclipse? 😣😣😣😣
Hello, I live in Kansas City, MO just 40 miles south of St.Joseph, MO which the weather channel said would be the MAXIMUM vantage point in the US for the eclipse. They are warning locals NOT to get out on Monday. They said parking would be at a standstill on the freeways.
Ailill's in Charleston South Carolina for years, and you are right in thinking that it can be crowded very quickly. Even with just normal summer tourism it is already packed to the brand. So I'm sure this eclipse is going to really do some damage in the more tourist friendly parts of the state
Just saw an ad on TV from Dept of Water and Power that the eclipse is going to GREATLY cut down the amount of power available, therefore they are asking that everyone please cut down on power usage and not use air conditioners at night but switch to fans. Seeing that scared me a bit as it makes it sounds like it is going to last for days. I don't remember ever hearing an announcement like this with any other eclipse....hmmmm
I work for one of the largest piping companies in the Midwest. Drivers deliver parts and pipe everyday. I'm curious to how much longer their routes will take. Gonna be a crazy day for sure. Wish I could've gotten the day off :/ the vacation calendar was full for this day
I'm going to see it on Monday! Can't wait
I live in Murrell's Inlet, SC, in Horry County. Our view of the solar eclipse is only 99.8%. I'm driving about 20 miles south to be in the path of totality! Can't wait!!!!
I'm in Nebraska. Road tripping down south to Beatrice Nebraska. Can't wait to see this!! Been waiting 3 yrs ..
South Carolinian here. They are telling us to prepare for traffic and tons of people meandering around. I'm not sure what to believe, im just gonna make sure my truck has a full tank and my cooler is full of beer. I'll be good.
Were I live, it's a 95% eclipse at 11:47 and I am sooo excited.
when we had it in uk 1999, it was weird, goes cold, birds stop singing, dogs bark, and just feels weird,,good tho
As long as Nebraska isn't cloudy, I will be lucky enough to get to see Totality. Just a few hours away. Enjoy, and feel the connection with the planets, for those who will be in the 70 mile path.
Sucks ass that i am in pennsylvania, but in grateful that i get to see a partial solar eclipse. This is also the first solar eclipse that i will ever see in my life.
The 1918 San Fermín earthquake, also known as the Puerto Rico earthquake of 1918, struck the island of Puerto Rico at 10:14:42 local time on October 11. The earthquake measured 7.1 on the moment magnitude scale and IX (Violent) on the Mercalli intensity scale. After an eclipse.
I am super lucky to live near Kansas City where I can see a total eclipse at age 11!
lmao, the title claims the eclipse could "paralyze" America, then the video is just saying there could be traffic jams. wtf
wow imagine if the eclipse was 2018 that would make the last full eclipse a 100 years old
I bought special glasses so I could stare right at the sun without it hurting my eyes
Sad, I was just in Hopkinsville, Kentucky to visit my Grandma and aunt for 3 months. I live in Texas so I'm pretty disappointed that I won't get to see such a beautiful thing in person but I'll watch a livestream for sure :)
When I found out I thought booking a camping spot would be easy. Nope turns out most were completely booked months ago. I still found one tho. It's just pretty rare.
My mom works for Marriott in SC. She says rooms are going for $700+ in some places here.
Where can I get the tickets to watch?
Kylie Rivera you don't need any tickets. If you are in the USA juust go outside.
Kylie Rivera **facepalm**😑
I saw partial one in the 90's in school we where told not to look at sun but we could look outside. So about 1:30 on est.
Can't wait to see this, my first total solar eclipse. We'll be in Madras at my sister-in-law's house! My eclipse glasses is ready! Woohoo!!!
