Solar eclipse in Northeast Ohio: Cleveland experiences totality

How cool was that? The April 8 total solar eclipse -- a moment we've been waiting years to experience -- put multiple Northeast Ohio locations like Cleveland and Akron in the path of totality.
And we were here to share the historic day with you with live streaming coverage inside this story!
TOTALITY
During our 3News special "Total Eclipse of the Park," we had live coverage from several spots around Cleveland as the city went into totality at approximately 3:15 p.m. At the Great Lakes Science Center, Russ Mitchell and Betsy Kling were joined by Dr. Jimmy Kenyon, director of Cleveland's NASA Glenn Research Center.

My round trip drive (Laurel, Md to Indianapolis & back) was just about 3 times yours, and it was STILL worth it!! This was my 3rd totality, and it just doesn't get old or the least bit routine. The forecast for Indy was pretty bad, but what were predicted to look like cloud cover, turned out to be just a thin haze that didn't interfere at all with the experience. I think if we'd had a totally clear sky, the only real difference would have been seeing a couple more of the planets. Fred

We had totality here in Leamington, Ontario - right across the lake from you guys. I've never seen anything like it. But somehow, in all the excitement, I can barely remember what it looked like! I don't even know how that could happen... I think it seemed so unreal that my mind wasn't sure if I should commit it to memory...? For hours later, I was asking my friends if it even happened, or if it was all a dream! I was in a major viewing area with thousands of people, and the energy was absolutely incredible. I remember looking around and realizing that there was a ring of sunset all around us, while the land around us was shimmering from all of the streetlights in the town coming on at once. And I know I was looking at it, but I remember more of how I felt than what I saw. I know I looked at it for a bit longer at the end, and that's the one visual I could see clearly in my mind. Specifically the right side of it, where I could see these incredible, vivid red flares, and these extra sparkles of light around the rim. I remember hearing about "Bailey's Beads" and immediately knew that it was what I was seeing. And I have this final, vivid memory of the "diamond ring" coming back, and how everything around us lit up like a sunrise on all sides. Anyway, I'm so glad that people took such amazing videos of this - it's really helping to jog my memory. I think some part of me truly thought that it wasn't real... it feels like a beautiful dream that I can barely remember.

There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

This was so amazing. I live in New Hampshire and whatever my wildest expectations, they were exceeded. I was so in awe that even from 50% onward my mouth hung open in awe with a huge grin on my face (I even drooled during the eclipse, normally I would have freaked out about since that's very unladylike, but this time I didn't care, I was too overwhelmed with emotion to be grossed out, so I just let myself feel all the tidal wave of emotions). Also during the lead up to totality I had to keep yelling at my younger brother "Don't look at the sun! Don't look at the sun!" and kept telling him put his eclipse glasses on if he wants to look. Then totality arrived and I said "okay, you can look" and just seeing this indescribable sight. I spent weeks in the lead up talking about it nonstop and I'm going to maybe talk about it nonstop for another few weeks (a few people even nicknamed me "eclipse girl", haha).

We drove a little over a hundred miles from S. Michigan to central Indiana, near my daughter's house. My son-in-law chose a really small, unknown park for us to view. Very beautiful, and such a magical event for everyone. Not a big crowd, everyone was so grateful and happy to be there. "No fights, no fireworks," as I say when describing a pleasant gathering.

Greentown Ohio here. Seen it with my father in the driveway. 100% solar maximum totality for almost 4 straight minutes. Even some stars came out to play. What a show and so blessed to see it. This eclipse was beyond amazing and I will take the blessing and the memory of being able to share it with my father with me until my last breath. However what’s even more amazing to me is that anyone on this earth could not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ for one millisecond. That’s what truly amazes me. I will never understand that!

What does your specific religion that has zero factual evidence regarding an eclipse. Stay on make believe land, we don’t need people like you spitting nonsense and propaganda. Do you know what the definition of faith is? A belief in the absence of evidence. You drink water because your eyes tell you it’s evidence of a crucial lifeline you need to survive. Evidence we have EKGs and can prove it. I hear this all the time and it’s annoying because you’re misleading people. I see natural disasters, I see children who have fallen deeply ill and do not make it. So either your god is not all powerful….or not all good….. let that just sink in for a second and when you want to step into a real man’s conversation we can.

Let’s not forget the Creator YAHWEH. “The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
