It’s going to be cloudy with possible thunderstorms in Austin that day.

[@jmacdde]

The lights were turned off in Austin a long time ago...........

[@salientfilm]

[@0397rb]

This isn't once in a lifetime ,they canceled Texas events

[@Romans_8.38-39]

I'm in Oregon. I saw the last eclipse. It was cool. I got a picture of lots of eclipse shadows on the sidewalk, as well as a good camera shot of the eclipse. I recommend checking it out.

[@maggie2sticks717]

I saw it in Memphis in 2017. It was wild.

[@lcfatima]

[@user-xu6ou1gl8s]

If I were an alien that’s when I would pop out.

[@shoebill181]

@treebrune4936 Bee's are smarter than humans!

[@lisalisas9979]

WTH?? Bees will DIE in mid flight😬

[@airdaff4973]

All these people wasting 1000s of gallons of gas and other resources to fly across the country to watch an eclipse and it's cloudy. Think of the carbon footprint this eclipse has caused.

[@resist56]

humans inhale oxygen, and exhale carbon. plants "inhale" carbon, and "exhale" oxygen.. did you pay attention in school, pal?

[@user-bm4ic4kx2w]

Return to reality...nicely put, unlike Trump

[@Jessica512Herrera]

❤Austin Texas baby

[@LeilaniG808]

[@radar0412]

Only to the uneducated

[@izzygraves6672]

​@@radar0412 😮

[@Daniel15391]

Fear mongering

[@marzymarrz5172]

Looking for drama are we?

[@dawnbrady684]

A whole 10 minutes tops with no light. whoopty doo.

[@Young_Dab]

I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation.

[@shelly1747]

Don't buy into it. Stay indoors. It's a waste of time. 1968 was boring and a nothing burger. I remember it.

[@Jfokes]

You are boring

[@deeprollingriver52]

How sad it must be to be a person with no sense of wonder

[@LMBee00]

I was conceived in 1968, my parents were bored, I believe you!
