Great picture Mike.  Looks like from some creature feature movie.

Here's some pics my Sister-In-Law got in Greenville, S. Carolina.

^Those are good. I couldn't get any of the total eclipse. They all turned out looking like a regular, dim sun.  ???

Here's a picture I took in Nashville just before the sun was completely covered. There was a huge cloud blocking the sun before but as it got darker the clouds started doing weird thing (swirling, changing, and disappearing). The cloud was completely gone just as the total eclipse started. It was awesome! I took this picture with my iPhone and no filter. Yes, it was that dark.



I was about 25 miles east of you.  There were no clouds over the totality.  It was pretty awesome.

That's right.  I'm the Luddite.  But at least I have a phone.  Ol' Barthheart hasn't got one at all.   :-"

I should have stopped by. Could of rolled up a level 1 Wizard. It would have been more fun than sitting in the traffic for 15 hours trying to get back to DC.  :D

I was actually at the Wilson County Fair.  Not as much fun as rolling up a Wizard, but, I did beat one of the carnys out of a velvet rose for my GF.
