Ha, ha! "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was running through my head when I read the header title.

[@TheFlagshipPhantom]

I watched the eclipse in Terra Haute, IN. They wouldn’t stop saying “Total Eclipse of the HAUTE”

[@therealcoltstonewolfe]

My wife and I watch these videos. And she was saying about that song too. Should have it playing in the background. We saw what we could from our home in Long Island , NY.

Total coverage from where I’m from in Ohio

[@RomanDiaries]

Yup, had a very nice view from my backyard!

[@chadenglish4169]

I drove to Cleveland and it was awesome. Can't believe the weather cooperated.

[@Abonanno24601]

I drove to Findley Ohio. Best experience of my life.

[@1987Megs]

I saw the eclipse in Texas yesterday at the lake shore. It was cloudy all day and right before it began they all went away and we got a full view! It was amazing and something I’ll always remember.

[@EricT814]

Union City Pennsylvania Saw eclipse it's awesome

That photo of you guys is great! ❤📸👍🏻 28:51

[@sandypetro8907]

Im from Indiana. I got to see the eclipse from my front yard. It was perfect. Weather and all. So thankful for God's beautiful creation. ❤️

[@CourtneysCockpit]

Same here in ky! I left work had a great view from my yard and work parking lot

[@dancrchik15]

You should have come to Indianapolis! We had beautiful 75 degrees with clear blue skies and 100% totality. It was amazing!!

[@mollysmith1226]

My husband saw it perfectly in Dayton Ohio

[@highbidder3952]

@@mollysmith1226 Same thing in Monroe, Ohio. I have a perfect time-laps video of the whole thing. Thing of beauty.

[@CourtneysCockpit]

Did it get dark? Here in louisville it got gray but not dark

[@dancrchik15]

@@CourtneysCockpit It did! It was such a cool moment. 😎

[@unicorn063]

Thankyou for taking us to Clifton Hills and 👋🏼 hello To Jenn and her sister ❤❤❤❤

[@lizlocher3612]

That is an AWESOME photo you guys got, what a memento!!! And with your sister there with you as well!! FABULOUS!!!

[@MrSnackosaurus]

If you had driven West to Cleveland you would have had a religious experience. I had plans to be in Niagara Falls but heard it was going to be overcast and rainy and went to Cleveland instead. It was one of the best viewings that lasted almost 4 minutes. I feel bad that you and Jenn didn't get the full experience, it was a once in a lifetime event. I left crying.

[@vickieengland7947]

awesome being in Niagara Falls. Awesome to see Jen with you.

[@unicorn063]

Yup from Rochester that’s about all I saw too Dark time 😊❤

[@unicorn063]

It was so Bizarre and cool at the same time ❤

[@karyn3341]

Its nice to see Jenn's sister!

[@davidsedano8881]

Drinking game idea: Take a shot every time Jen & Jacob look at the eclipse without the glasses! 😂

[@HiddenJackpots]

It was great meeting you and Jen on Clifton Hill! I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Niagara Falls for the eclipse. I was surprised at how little border traffic you had. I was lucky enough to find free parking but since I live here I know the "hidden jackpots" lol. If you ever need any dining or cheap parking options let me know that's what I do here on KZbin!

[@lazyboy6575]

Bagger, kudos to you! Excellent job capturing the experience! We felt like we were there with you.

[@ActiveDreamer1]

So it is true that I saw you on a NASA live broadcast on KZbin yesterday. I thought it was someone else who looked like you but now that I see this video I know I wasn't dreaming.

[@jennifercolligan3085]

Yay, Jenn is representing in my favorite girls shirt and you're at one of my favorite places while I grew up. I love Clifton Hill!!

[@FilmFlam-8008]

Glad you guys had fun

[@jawllypop1750]

I celebrated and ate pizza when the sky just went fully black.

[@delorescollins3043]

Hi Jen! I absolutely love you. So glad you are with Jacob on these trips❤

[@alliekuma4234]

Jenn's sister seems cool! I too always get nervous crossing the border as well, especially when I'm bringing Coffee Crisps back over for some reason. Lol I'm glad you guys got to experience this! I thought it was cool how dark it got yesterday in the middle of the day. : ) (Love the Ewok hoodie Jenn!)

[@samanthap.879]

Jen is so hilarious I love her

[@hunteralex13]

I live in the Buffalo area, and experienced this. It really was amazing!! The people next to us did play total eclipse of the heart when it happened! So cool just to experience this!! Glad Jen, her sister and you had a good time!

[@robertyoung7962]

Very awsome video Jacob and jenn my favorite KZbin couple !🎉

[@markzeahammer183]

The Carpetbagger thumbnail everyone wanted to see. Carpetbagger got it done despite the bad weather reports.

[@michaeltroupe6058]

Glad you came to the best country in the world to watch it keep on rocking the videos❤️🇨🇦

[@daviddavis6065]

I was looking forward to seeing your video it was brilliant

[@Tom5TomEntertainment]

Yeah, clouds!

[@m.hreels9822]

I couldn't get any of the glasses 🕶️ I feel like such an idiot for not buying them on Amazon like everyone else! 😂

[@slytheringingerwitch]

I remember watching the total eclipse in Newquay, Cornwall 11th August 1999. It was pretty cool and great to share it with everyone. Glad you all had a great time.

[@lizlocher3612]

LOVE 💗 your Stevie Nicks shirt, Jenn!!! Don't worry about looking directly at the sun for a quick instant several times without the glasses, cuz I looked at the last one in 2017 for a half hour n though I saw purple n green everything for a few hours afterwards, there was no permanent damage!!! I also glanced at this one a few times quickly yesterday, I did not stare stuck like last time, n I see no problems today!!!

[@bowsully]

We weren't able to get glasses, but I made a quick and simple pinhole projector with two sheets of paper so we could watch it safely. Jen's sibling's outfit was awesome, I've almost bought that same shirt and rainbow glasses before 😂

[@suemoo22]

I saw it in Ohio. I was amazed at how bright the earth was when only a tiny part of the sun was visible.

[@crissytracy8517]

We had totality where I am in Maine. They had a lot of viewing centers set up. We stayed home. Watched it right in our front yard. It was incredible! It was the coolest natural event I’ve ever experienced! I’m still in awe! The way it slowly got dark. Then light again. Blew me away!! People here were so dismissive. But I thought it was spectacular!

[@hudouj]

yes the eclipse was amazing I was in Paris Arkansas and got to see it in totality!

[@cheeriokeeper]

Watched with my kids in Paris Texas, the clouds opened up for the full 4 minutes. Such an awesome experience!

[@glennjudd2467]

Really amazing day ! Nothing on the westcoast ! Really enjoy all I saw , across the country on TV Look amazing Jacob & jenn

[@karenstraw7301]

I Live in Niagara falls n.y but we watched it on the Television safer there in the comfort of our living room. Yes indeed this was a Historic moment

[@theprocraftanator1967]

Here’s a place you should take Jen. Niagara Falls Elope and Small Wedding Ceremony Chapel on the Lane

[@jennypennyyoutube]

😂😂😂

[@TheVictorCruz]

The PSYCHO music playing while people walking thru the streets during the eclipse seems about right. 😅

[@robylove9190]

The sky here cleared up just in time for the eclipse. It was awesome to get to see it.

[@mikehughes4969]

I'm in Florida, and you could barely see anything at all, but back when I was a kid in the 70s, there was one in Chicago where it got to be almost twilight. We didn't have the fancy sunglasses though.

[@rachelle6339]

I live in Alabama my first total eclipse 1983! I didn’t look at it back then they would tell you to stay inside 😂😂 , I seen the 2017 eclipse we drove to tennessee to see it? It was amazing ❤❤

[@MP-gm5gg]

I bet people in ancient times thought it was the world ending. Thankful the sun comes back out. Lol. Thank you Jacob and Jen and sis

[@pjmartin6690]

Even in heavy cloud cover.... it got really dark!!!!!!!! I'm on FL panhandle and we had 78% coverage, with heavy clouds too, and it got a bit dark and colder! What an exciting moment in time. I am so glad you and Jenn took time to share this experience with all of us viewers!!

[@denisedarnell1641]

Awe we did get to see alot here in Detroit area. It got dark but not as dark as Niagra Falls. We had a sunny day though ..not overcast like you.. Even though the forecasters all said rain and cloudy. Really makes you wonder what they get paid !!??? My son and his gf and I watched it from my own backyard. No traffic at all and could come and go as we pleased lol...

[@mariehendrick7173]

I am so with you all..I also found that very moving It makes us realise how wonderfull the world is...!!!! Nice to meet Jenn's sister..!!XXXX

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jenny Penny and Jacob 🤓🤓📸 I did the same thing in my back yard lol have the same paper sunglasses for the sun to see the eclipse yesterday, it was amazing and rare. Thanks for sharing this.

[@CarbiesChronicles]

in my area there was a thick cloud cover, didnt see a thing, but did experience nightfall...

[@paean109]

Welcome to Canada. Albeit you had a short visit. Wow, $50 to park. Yikes!

[@hattiem.7966]

We paid $30 5 years ago in a small hotel parking lot across the street from the falls on the NY side.We had our 40 th anniversary dinner at The Red Cloak Inn there.

[@m.hreels9822]

I was waiting in anticipation to see your reaction ☀️🌑❤️

[@Amanda_Blair]

You should have came to Southeast Mo. We had sunny skies all day and in the line of totality. We would have let you watch it from our front yard. It was amazing

[@nadiaborzacchini6858]

Tucaon az didnt get to see t It this year but thanks for taken us on your trip it was gorgeous through your eye thanks for sharing

[@poss4757]

This was my 4th Eclipse. I was watching in Ohio southwest of Cleveland. There were very thin clouds periodically in the sky but did not hamper the eclipse at all. My other eclipse were in 70,72,17,24, and I had to travel for all. It is so awesome glad that you got to experience it. Keep the great content coming.

[@lesliegriffith9830]

I read that the one in 2044 will be total across Southern Colorado. I live in Metro Denver and I'll be 88 years young.

[@jimmymelendez1836]

*old

[@amandas8621]

Experienced full totality north of syracuse. An incredible experience that I will never forget.

[@SengentaroBloodwake]

Should have come to DFW. There were some clouds, but then totality came it was clear enough to really see. Super cool. Last time I saw an eclipse, I think I was like... 8 or 9 years old. Lived in a small town in Pennsylvania at the time.

[@silverghostcat1924]

I thought it was most kind of the clouds to cooperate and clear around the sun in time for the eclipse 😸 I'm a little south of Arlington

[@cathpeterson1944]

awesome vlogging eclipse experience from Niagara Falls, so cool to see total darkness for those few minutes, the last time I experienced this was 1979 I was in grade 5

[@thelittledemon8599]

When I was watching it live at school.. I thought I saw someone that looked like carpetbagger and it turned out you were actually there xD

[@wallybacon22]

We all know the moon blocked out the sun, but did anything happen with Uranus? Weeee. Tip your waitress and try the special at “The Chuckle Hut”.

[@kxrv6629]

Funny. Both of the KZbin Eclipse videos I’ve seen posted so far are from the Rainbow bridge at Niagara Falls. Too bad about the clouds. Thanks for sharing the experience

[@janetcannon7986]

We didn't have darkness but was happy to see the eclipse. Over the past few years due to crappy weather I have missed metor showers, eclipses, comets and the aurora. For once I actually saw something! Lol

[@manongagnon9704]

Here in Québec near Sherbrooke, where I live, 4 beautiful minutes of totality. Blue skies all around!!! It was awsome!! 🤗 ❤❤❤❤

[@mostlydollshelicopters4799]

I seen totality at my house , it was awesome 😊

[@jarno1208]

I did Niagara Falls 2005 From Canada side.

[@alexandercrew2538]

If you're in the area, Castle Dracula on Clifton Hill just got new owners and made some improvements, the first in over 30 years. I must have just missed you while you were on Clifton Hill, but my brother got a great photo with you! We've been watching your channel since 2014, keep up the great work!

[@kaymad143]

I share your feelings about the eclipse, the eclipse looked wicked cool (from Burlington, VT). It was amazing, spiritual, inspirational, life-changing... Eclipse!

[@buffgrl75]

Hi Jacob! I’m from Buffalo and I’ve seen you in other videos and saved this one to watch which happened today. I’m not sure if you are from this area but I was impressed at your familiarity especially talking about Marineland! Thanks for coming to the area to cover it, too bad we had so much cloud cover.

[@fairlyamused]

Wow sorry to see the clouds blocked most of the view. I got to experience almost 4 minutes of totality near Cleveland with clear skies it was Amazing!

[@saratf]

I watched from Dallas and the clouds almost ruined the show. Everyone should see an eclipse if possible. It's amazing!

[@lizlocher3612]

The eclipse was a VERY COOL experience n I was SUPER moved as well both times!! It is a phenomenal natural occurrence and to witness it live is extremely AWESOME DELUXE!!! Great views of the falls as well!!!

[@slayer81457]

You should go to Space Farms zoo and museum in New jersey

[@debbiedunn4477]

Love Buffalo!

[@staceykanehl220]

I'm glad to came to my city Buffalo, NY! It's werid seeing people I watch on KZbin go places I go on. Regular basis! Hope you guys come back soon!

[@latoacwoad]

Oh the totality. Great that you and Jenn enjoyed the eclipse together.

[@joshuarandolph5031]

You guys are awesome. Jen rocks😊

[@briancampbell2914]

It's okay Jacob not to know who Tim Horton was. Yes he was a Hockey player. As a Canadian 🇨🇦. I'm always happy when you visit 😊

[@terryallen4505]

Great video Jacob & Jen, so amazing to see it go dark !

[@prussiaaero1802]

Watching from Australia - we were right there in Niagara back in 2018! You stood and walked where we did - exactly!

[@CCcastro336]

So awesome!! We only got a partial solar eclipse. So we did not go dark. It was still beautiful. Thank you for sharing! So very cool!!

[@auntieelizabethleepermartinez]

I didn't even seen it cause I was in my house busy doing house but it was a great video

[@mindyhoeh4466]

Okay my suggestions to visit is Letchworth about an hours drive from Buffalo 3 waterfalls, a dam, a train bridge. Other one is Corning museum of glass in Corning maybe on the way home? Knox art gallery they just redid it, President Millard Filmore’s house in East Aurora, you can also go to the Roycroft. Elbert Hubbard who created it passed away on the Lusitania on May 7, 1915. Hope this helps.

[@brianking973]

So cool. Was too cloudy in Mississippi. Just looked like a rainy day. I bet the excitement was incredible there

[@corgilover42]

The change from light to dark was just wild. With the cloud cover here in Rochester we saw no sun at all. 😢

[@craigpringle5937]

I was in hot springs Arkansas and it was beautiful it is something I will never forget they had over three minutes of totality

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hey Jacob and Jennifer 🙋🏽. Enjoy your day ‼️. We had a partial eclipse. IT got dark but it didn't get overly dark.❤

[@AndyandPapa]

Local welding dude let us use two lenses. Omg they brought the eclipse to life. Yes we had clouds too. But I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Glad you had great time.

[@warmlantern0000]

Yes with welding lens you can see sun. My dad and ex both showed me those lens.

[@BryanH63]

NIAGARA FALLS! Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch...

[@PdiddytTube]

That stinks there were so many clouds. The darkness was an amazing part of it. Wonder if the falls even make it more cloudy in that area. In Erie, PA it was cloudy (but cleared up nice for the event) but we got a complete look at the totality. Seeing it was an amazing spectacle to see the sun completely covered with a ring around it. The moon even seemed to have an extreme silver sheen to it when the sun was behind it ... side note you can actually look at the sun with the glasses normally its kinda cool.

[@amylynn3610]

Enjoy watching your videos!!

[@MarthaJOHNSON-iu4wk]

Thanks you even doe it was cloudy 😊

[@kareneveland2243]

The view was awesome in St Thomas, Ontario. Next time you're at the falls ask for free samples at the Hershey store and the Ole Fudge shoppe

[@dianehine5935]

Enjoyed your coverage of the Eclipse. And your videos.

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

Great video. Here's where I am, we had only 86% coverage of the sun. My hubby could not get off work he had too much to do, ahh, the life of the lone school mechanic /welder. So I pray I am in good health at 79 when it will come right over my area and that I can see it. So, I got my goals and fingers crossed. Jenn, i was singing that same song all day yesterday and thinking about my mom all 6. That song came out in 83 don't know if it was spring of 83 or fall of, but it was either my junior or senior year, I played that single on my stereo I don't know how many times then when it would come over the radio I would always get the kno d k on the door telling me to turn that song down. My mom would imitate Bonnie Tyler singing it and really over exaggerated it. Lol. Love your sisters frames they fun, plus love that keepsakes photo.

[@GtotheC88]

In central Indiana we had clear skies. Was really cool to see
