I live in Waxahachie, TX and was scheduled to deliver for Amazon today. It was overcast cloudy and I clocked in and was told that I'd be on standby, so I was cautiously hopeful. I waited and then got let out before noon. I gunned it home to my parents with a few breaks in the clouds and set up a bluetooth speaker playing Pink Floyd, had a neighborhood friend bike over to my backyard, and after "Eclipse" finished playing at 1:34 P.M. it was just 3 more minutes until the beginning of totality.
It was the most awesome thing I will ever see in my life. 4 minutes of true awe that I probably will never experience again, right over my backyard. I completely understand now why people fly around the world to experience it, it is TRULY AMAZING, and that is an understatement. 😅
The best part is the last 10 seconds looking through the glasses and seeing the light around you dim quickly until it looks like the sky before dawn or after dusk, and to see a black circle block a bright star that you can do absolutely nothing about is something I will never take for granted.
After the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 rolled through Waxahachie in 2021 and now 4 minute totality, I can say without a doubt that I have seen everything (except the northern lights, Starship launch, and the Milkyway Galaxy in person at a certified dark sky location) and can die now, and I wouldn't be upset.
It's like the mountains, unless you've seen it in person, you won't understand until you do, because pictures just DO NOT do it justice at all.
My eyes hurt watching this but i love it!
Nothing really happened for real but still good
Griffith is probably out there somewhere blood sacrificing his band of no name thugs

Pretty sure pickpocketers had a field day while everyone was looking up in the dark. lol
Never forget God loves you and is our lord and savior
In my country sun eclipse It didn't seem
How is it possible on the flat earth?
Drove from Philly up to Ashtabula, Ohio to watch totality on Lake Erie. Amazing experience.
watched in terre haute, IN. most incredible moment of my life so far.
Prince of Peace, grant me inner peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Calm the storms of anxiety and turmoil within me, and fill me with serenity and tranquility. May your peace reign in my life, bringing harmony and wholeness. Amen.
Absolutely amazing eclipse in the world
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Bible
“Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures”,
Every one in America looks obese
Where are the religious nuts that said this would end the world? Ehh maybe next time right? Right? Haha
This was such a special and beautiful event today! How delightful it is to remain up and witness this marvel! 🏏 Whoa!
As im watching the crowd in Mazatlan Mexico waiting for the eclipse, I see a whole different type & class of Mexicans that really differ from the Mexicans fleeing to the American border.
What's up with that? They must be the rich, wealthy Mexicans my dad told me about.
Share the wealth so that your own people don't have to flee for a better life that isn't any better.
Oh man, I missed the eclipse because I was drinking. But I'm kinda glad, because my dumb drunk ass would probably had stared straight at the eclipse. 👍
very good programme, entertaining and educational, thank you for putting this on YT…seeing people's elation and euphoria makes you realize how special the Sun is for us humans…it transcendends race, creed and nation…it makes you wonder…
