@@heidibrault1313 I'm so glad I was able to go. I drove from North Carolina to my to my mother's apartment in Pittsburgh last Saturday then on Monday I drove from Pittsburgh PA to a Car/Truck Service Plaza in Streetsboro OH. It was worth every minute. At least 3 minutes of totality. Every parking space for cars and trucks was taken. Lots of children and teenagers on car roof tops. Folks on lawn chairs. Totality looked like a hole in the sky with a white corona and yellow diamonds in places around the dark edge. It was dark and cold and chilly. The parking lot lights came on. The horizon was still light all around us. Pretty much exactly like this video.

Whenever there is an eclipse, it is always cloudy in Finland.

It is a geometrical polarisation of the universe.
