Theres a reason so many religions and myths viewed eclipses as evil omens

[@The-House-Cat-777]

lots of people today were too. lol I know I worked with them

[@ge2623]

That's because there were no shadows to be afraid of.

[@carriew662]

I live in Niagara Falls and this is exactly what it felt like! Pure magic! I love how emotional the reporter is. It was truly amazing.

[@Greenpoloboy3]

A reminder of how small we humans actually are. We take so much for granted too. Our beautiful planet. The Moon is vital for us to exist, and of course so is our Sun. A awe inspiring moment. Amazing the Moon is just the right distance and size for this to even happen.

[@lisayt3024]

This was the best reporter for the eclipse by far. So authentic and heartfelt.

[@a.obrien95]

This reporter is fantastic. She did a great job describing things and being so optimistic even when it seemed to be hopeless. I was there for this and she said it best! Teasing. It was AMAZING and it was almost better this way because when we did get to see totality it was even more exciting! I can't even believe it. It was incredible.

[@yonasco14]

This woman needs to cover every eclipse news report from now on.

Had the privilege to see it and experience it. A once in a lifetime unforgettable memory and event, that I'll remember always. Truly amazing. 🌑🙏

[@purpi8598]

I'm emotional 😢

[@troyzieman7177]

I was down the road by Port Colborne , Ontario . The crowds broke prior to totality . We saw it clear as a bell . There are no words

[@Fadeinwow]

The be honest, this felt so genuine and the type of innocence usually found only in children. Being emotional purely because of the beauty of nature, really is beautiful in instelf.

[@darceenswartz1759]

The PERFECT reporter for this story!

[@ellabobella28310]

im in upstate ny and we've literally been in a sstate of emergency since yesterday due to the amount of people who were gonna be in our area......and then it was cloudy. we didnt see anything but the darkness was unreal and definitely a once in a lifetime experience

[@DSensitize]

This was the ultimate experience of my thirty-eight years on this planet. There is some kind of magic in this universe that is beyond my and all our understanding. I feel beyond blessed to have experienced this!

[@benfoster5387]

Well said. I feel the same. What a blessing.

[@caitlindonohue6883]

36 and same. I'm frustrated at not having the right language to explain to people actually how magical this moment was. The only way I can try and get close is by saying that I thought the emotions were exaggerations before I saw it. Nope. It's actually something beyond comprehension.

[@marinakomatsu6786]

"We can't describe what we're feeling now." is right. This solar eclipse were special for U.S. We can feel new energy belt.

[@melsvids73]

I was there in Niagara on Canadian side and this reporter's describes my emotions during totality completely!

Me too, I bawled my eyes out when they turned off the sun.

[@bradralls2970]

I'm still crying 😢

[@IdiotSandwich122]

I cried too and I also don't know why. It was like being hit with a tsunami of a profound emotion that I've never felt before. I didn't expect to cry; it was so amazing. Saw it in Montreal.

[@caitlindonohue6883]

Same! 100% did not expect to cry! The emotion just swept over me without any understanding of why. In the moment of totality all I could do was feel. I didn't start processing till after totality and thats when the tears started streaming

[@cypresswyvern]

What a beautiful place to watch the eclipse. ❤ to you all

[@suedunford1617]

I was along the Niagara River, very close by and it was amazing!!!

[@LoLingVo]

They almost didn't see it because of cloud cover... Thousands of dollars per person could've been for nothing, but a miracle happened that parted the clouds! Many can thank God for that.

[@doumzoutdoors3592]

it was so cool .. what a magical moment that was. thanks for the amazing coverage Kristine

[@jercasgav]

I listened to a couple of different Native American videos that came up in my feed recently about eclipses. They were from totally different tribes, but both tribes said that you don't want to go outside during an eclipse, eat, or drink. Kind of like full moons when people tend to get more wild and energetic, the eclipse does the reverse...it can sap or suck energy out of a person, which is why they advised people not go out and expose themselves directly to it. They also said that eclipses represent changes in cycles here on earth in the area where they occur...much like the seasons changing.

[@The-House-Cat-777]

yeah some people were freaked out to even go outside at work. I just keep thinking about how beautiful the ring looked. wow.

[@kokemon84]

This is my favorite eclipse response. Very special experience. The light really diminished during totality with all of the clouds making Niagra Falls a really unique total solar eclipse.

[@vitaly2432]

You got the right reporter for the job! Good for you! So happy for her and other people who've had this exeprience and stopped their lives for a few minutes for that, to just see and feel the granduer of Nature, and that we are but tiny and temporary part of it.

I'm so glad they got a break in the clouds just long enough to give them a look at totality. It's still a cool environment but I would've been greatly disappointed if I didn't get to see the eclipse in totality for at least a second.
