You just have to see it in person. Such an experience you can't understand until you have seen it.

[@jimmyjames6487]

Seen plenty. I would rather be fishing

[@AD-fb6qf]

It was so cool,1st time seeing a total eclipse, wow I wish it lasted longer but it was much more amazing than I expected. I'd definitely travel to see that, luckily it was in my back yard today.

You had to see it in person to really appreciate how beautiful it was. It's truly a once in a lifetime event. God bless that woman who came from San Francisco to watch it live.

back in 1999 i experience my total eclipse in Luxemburg Europe, never ever had any regrets travelling there.

[@faithbot1276]

I love how Robin Roberts was speechless really beautiful

[@lindaslattery8341]

Saw it from my patio, which is just 30 minutes away from the Rock Hall. I just took it all in with no distractions. It was simply breathtaking. Got pics from my neighbor 🌘

[@steveb7429]

I saw it in Avon Lake, OH. Flew up from Orlando to see it. I had extremely high expectations, and it was more than more than I could ever imagine. Like so many comments here, it is something that that you have to experience in person to fully appreciate. I will NEVER forget how I felt experiencing the eclipse.

Robin was feeling it, sad that she probably lost 1/2 of her vision staring directly at the non eclipsed sun for several seconds, repeatedly

[@AD-fb6qf]

My first full eclipse and it was in our back yard with no yelling and just awe. Id be so annoyed to be by these annoying reporters who dont have a true personality just fake drama. They ruined the moment for any real people around them. Just SHUT UP

[@HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWWW]

Fr

It looks like there were plenty of real people around them who were having a great experience. When you're in your backyard alone, you've no person to share the experience with, so of course you'll be quiet. If you're at a gathering of thousands of people, you're going to feel the collective energy of the crowd and it results in emotional outbursts, especially during the change of phase into and out of totality. Cheering out loud for a home run is utterly irrational and stupid... and yet with a crowd of tens of thousands of people, it's just what one does. This isn't rocket science.

Really, it'd be SO much better to see some shots of the natural world, maybe the lake, even long shots of the area, instead of these jabbering talking heads. If they'd just SHUT UP. Coverage fail. Glad they went to Cleveland tho.
