Total Solar Eclipse - April 8th, 2024

[Hurl Bruce]

My daughter’s volleyball team has a tourney in Eastlake that weekend. It was not easy securing hotel rooms.

There are millions coming to the area for the eclipse.

Figured I'd start a thread for this, since Cleveland and much of NE Ohio is in the path of totality.

Do you have any plans for this event which will not happen again until the year 2444? Did you happen to catch the 2017 eclipse in another city?

Had seen the prior one while down in Columbus

Distinctly recall being in a Get Go parking lot alongside my mom as we had distinctly made it a point to catch it.

Hoping for clear skies here in north central OH and some of this recent precipitation mercifully lets up for this quickly approaching celestial occurrence!

This also went down recently as a corresponding preceding event to the daytime hubub

Two weeks before the total solar eclipse, during the overnight hours of March 24 - 25, it will be the moon's turn to undergo an eclipse.

not what it says, but they are doing testing in the ionosphere in the moons shadow since satellites won't be in the locations they want them.

hopefully we will get an earthquake during the eclipse.

Driving to Cleveland to see this. If it's cloudy I'll just blame JBB.

Lots of funny business is scheduled. States of emergency have already been declared.

Call your loved ones before the event! Prepare as if it's a major natural disaster! Stay home! Don't go to work! Don't go to school! Look up!

Here’s a video from the 2017 eclipse. I showed it to my wife yesterday. Before the video, her attitude about the eclipse was “meh”. After, her attitude is now “this is gonna be AWESOME”.
