Matt at Klipsch has arranged an even bigger event for 2024, the Great EKLIPSCH. It will commemorate the 7th Anniversay of the Klipsch Museum of Audio History. There will be a total EKLIPSCH over the Museum in Hope AND he Klipsch HQ in Indy. The duration will be twice as long as the one this year. Travis VERY Cool!!!!! I'll either be in Spring City, TN or near my mountain property in Luminary (Har! Har!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Richard Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 One thing to look for as the eclipse is happening, no matter if you are in the path of totality or not, is the crescent shapes you can see through shadows cast by trees and bushes as the moon passes in front of the sun. It won't get totally dark, more like dusk, and your shadow will still look like it does at noon, short not long. It will also be cooler than normal for this time of year.

wvu80 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Here in WV we are expecting the eclipse to run from 1p to 3p, 87% coverage. My eyes will be safe, I will be watching it on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2017 Probably cutting grass in the back yard, I wish it would stay halfway covering the sun until the end of September, had enough of the summer heat already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2017 Looks like about 40% here now, might be about all we get ? Dark welding shields work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Totality here in KC. And I mean Dark - as in complete cloud cover. Of course the news Beagles are swarming, a crew was in St. Joe, MO in the path for 100%, holding umbrellas as the rain came down. Interviewed several people from Europe and Australia who made the trek for the dampened event. I'm saving my luck for Wednesdays drawing when I become rich and famous like Carl.

codewritinfool Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I was in St. Louis in the path of totality. It was fantastic. Temperature dropped, wind kicked up, street lights came on, and we had a minute or more of an incredible hole in the sky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 According to a chart I looked at over the weekend I was in a 98% sunblock region, my brother down at Clemson had 100% he said they saw the corona and it was dark except around the complete horizon. Had a cloud or two, that probably saved my phone camera. We watched on a piece of typing paper inside a shoebox, and with a colander held a couple feet off the ground. Shadows through the trees were fascinating, and it's still erie looking outside now 40 minutes later. Our 98% topped out at 2:41, first shadows at 2:27 second at 2:40 a cloud came right after that. Note the difference in the crescents on the car hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 OK, I peeked. The sun's area was so bright I couldn't see a thing. It got just a little strange looking glow outside, but no blackout. I did hear a LOT of birds chirping, the way they do in the morning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
