Hey KCers! How was that eclipse today!!!!!!

 

[AMusicLifeForMe]

I stayed in Olathe and about 2 minutes before 99% totality was supposed to hit, a big cloud covered the sun and had no view of it after that. It was still really cool though especially when the cicadas thought it was nighttime.

Hey KCers! How was that eclipse today!!!!!!

I work in NKC and it was perfectly clear....until about 1:07 when some huge clouds covered the sun

I wish I traveled an hour north to the totality zone. It was still an interesting experience in Olathe though.

I'll try and get something uploaded here if I can (a pic or video) from my husband's home soon (I haven't checked out what he got so it could be nothing) but we were in St Joe area at a winery (technically in Easton,MO). While we got the full totality it started pouring right when it was happening and it was already really cloudy. You sorta had to make the most of it really but we did get that darkness and probably a little bit more maybe just because the weather was already darker with the storms.

It was really cloudy for most of the eclipse time from start to finish but we did get a few breaks here and there to look at the Sun with the glasses.

Here's a pic from towards the beginning of the several hour event. The pic is much better when just zooming on the phone. It's a pic through the eclipse glasses. This is when we got a break in the clouds for a few minutes:


Wasn't a total loss...got 3 bottles of wine to take home lol including one they labeled as a souvenir bottle:



Honestly the KC area got probably better overall views than we did in the St. Joe area just because the clouds were there for longer where we were at.

Getting home was fun..we went through that big storm system in the northland that caused all that flooding in the afternoon (and of course the traffic on 169 and whatnot was bad).

Here is my husband and myself with our solar eclipse shirts (mother-in-law got my husband and her husband the same shirt and her and I had the same shirt):
