I live in southwest Indiana and we were supposed to be 99% totality for the solar eclipse today. I originally planned on going down to Hopkinsville, Ky to watch the eclipse with some other letterboxers. But about a month out, they were talking about all the crowds/traffic and we decided to stay home.

I went and watched at my kids school. We had a few thin clouds but we had a great view. I was disappointed with the point of "totality". I thought being 99% it would be darker, we would be able to see stars, the corona, etc. When looking away, it seemed like a big cloud covered the sun. The street lights came on and the crickets/cicada were buzzing. My 2 older boys were disappointed too :(
On Sunday, I planted a box for the eclipse. Two other boxers have planted boxes within an hour of me while they were traveling to see the event too :)
I have already started looking at the maps for the solar eclipse 2024 and it looks like we will be in totality then. Wow! I guess all the crazies will come to us ;)
