Clear at 3pm EST ...no clouds

QEW is packed all heading to the Falls.

The Hamilton-Niagara area is within this path, making it a desirable destination for spectators.

There will be a number of events in the area, and Hamilton is designating eclipse viewing areas for people to safely gather in.

We are not back to full sunlight as yet.

 
sgtdjones 2024-04-08 19:39:36 

Well we are back to normal now ....

What an experience ..16 minutes....

I wonder what humans were thinking in the stone age when such occurred.

 
sgtdjones 2024-04-08 19:47:41 

I shall never forget this experience of a total eclipse
I have seen two partial eclipses ,
Earth shadow blocking moon twice

But noting like this show ...the next one in approx. 40 years ...

For 16 minutes I witness an amazing occurrence in the sky....cool

If this eclipse didnt make human beings realize how delicate and insignificant we are on the spaceship called earth when compared to the universe, nothing else will!! Nature shows its beauty and reminded us of its commanding presence yesterday.

We are nothing but a tiny spec in the universe, yet we find ways of pump up our egos to the max to make us feel we are the boss!!

The eclipse did it...

Woman accused of killing partner and throwing children out of car was scared of the eclipse

Awoman who police say killed her partner before throwing her two children from a moving car onto the freeway, killing her infant daughter, was an astrologer who called the impending solar eclipse “the epitome of spiritual warfare” in an online post days earlier.

Los Angeles police believe Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, posted on X as an astrology influencer and recording artist with the moniker “Ayoka,” in the days leading up to the violence, which began hours before the eclipse peaked in Southern California, said Lt. Guy Golan.

Authorities say Johnson and her partner, 29-year-old Jaelen Allen Chaney, had an argument around 3:40am on Monday in their apartment in Woodland Hills, about 25 miles (42 km) northwest of downtown LA. Johnson stabbed Chaney and fled with her kids, an 8-month-old girl and her 9-year-old sister, in a Porsche Cayenne.

Johnson then drove along Interstate 405 in Culver City and threw her daughters out of the moving SUV around 4:30 am, police said. The baby was pronounced dead on the road, but the older daughter — who witnessed the stabbing — survived with moderate injuries.

Even a Porsche Cayenne couldn't help her.
