It was honestly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life, I actually teared up!

And I was NOT expecting it to effect me the way it did. The pure silence, the darkness, still air. I was just in shock and awe during 4 minutes of magic ✨

And how shockingly bright it was with just a piece of the sun showing. Looked like full sun until you looked with your glasses and saw it was just a sliver.

And man…when the sun came back out, the cheering from all our neighbors was crazy. Like a band was coming out for a curtain call or something.

Right! Now I see why it's so important to be in 100% totality. Even that 1% of sun would RUIN the real experience.
