I went all the way to Vonore, Tennessee at this Fort Loudoun State Historical Park in the zone of totality, and I have to say it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. That 2 minute and 31 second period was marvelous. Waiting in anticipating, seeing the moon come, with music, food, and a steadily decking hot temperature was all awesome, but man, man was the corona of the sun finally covered amazing. Everything changed.

Where I live, it barely got dark. People in Nebraska and Casper are lucky motherfuckers.
The eclipse lasted, like, 30 minutes long in my state, and I wasn't even interested enough to go see it.

I'll post some pictures when I get home.

Here is a neat piece on The Guardian about signs of potential eye damage from the Eclipse. It's surprising how easily it can sneak up on you.
