I was not expecting getting that emotional. I've seen the pictures and videos before and I always found those very beautiful of course. But nothing can describe the feeling while it is happening in front of you but I'll try. You first look at the sun with light blocking glasses and you first see the moon blocking the sun. I said to myself... ok... this is really happening a bit in denial. And then you see it blocking slowly but surely. The temperature is starting to cool down even if the light is very bright. It made me realize how we are so dependent on the sun's energy for all life on earth. It made me appreciate how sun=life. The shadows have weird shapes. You look at the landscape and you know something is odd. And then... totality his happening, the crowd is screaming in awe, we just can't contain ourselves, it is literally impossible to contain. You feel the hype, it is stronger than what you expected. It is sunset colors 360 all around you and you see what seems like a black hole in the sky. Truly the weirdest and most beautiful thing I ever saw. You can see the sun atmosphere surrounding the moon, it feels violent, chaotic and you can't believe you can see sun storms with your naked eye. It is frightening and amazing at the same time. You can see planets and star which feels like a glitch in the matrix in day time. I felt like everybody wanted to share the joy with others. It removes the day to day problems. At that moment, hundreds of people are just cheering up what the universe can show us. It is a first timer for 99% of us so we are like a child discovering the world again looking confused and excited at the same time. So it is all there, right in front of you, the sun, the moon, the planets, the stars, the animals reacting to us and the light, the insects and bird chants changing, all people around you, many from around the world to see this, different languages, different families, different loves. But all our differences doesn't matter for those 4 minutes we all share one love to us and the universe. I felt connected to what our ancestors felt and I was grateful for them. I felt connected to the immensity of the universe and all its beauty.

Such a shame that no-one told these people that the most spectacular place to view a total eclipse is actually out in the countryside, not in the middle of a city. There are a lot of natural phenomenon that all happens in 10 minutes, that normally take a whole night. The animals lie down to sleep. Many flowers close up their petals. Nocturnal insects begin their night-time noises. And yes, when the eclipse finishes there is a dawn chorus ! You can't imagine how profoundly this adds to the experience.

I stayed in Dallas, and later heard there were also thick clouds, but right before totality is also cleared up there, but with some thin clouds. I have one question, there was a road next to the park I was in, and I also see it in this vid, there are people driving in their cars during totality. Who are those people, and what is wrong with them? Btw, great video!
