Eclipse rainout

I am disappoint.

Unfortunately our eclipse experience here got rained out. We were all disappointed here, but had a good time hanging out with friends.

The day started off fairly decently with some high thin clouds, but then the cloud cover started getting denser, and by the time 2PM came around, the sky was getting pretty dark out to the west.

A few minutes later, the lightning started and a steady rain followed.

At least I was able to experience everything slowly getting dark, and then getting brighter again.

Rainy, but dark #Eclipse2017

There’s another eclipse happening in 2024. Maybe we’ll have better luck with that one.

Well, at least there’s a nice sunset to finish the day with #chs pic.twitter.com/1XTsjJRH6O
