Some folks said they were a little disappointed...even in areas of totality.
Not sure what they expected...a celestial scraping sound when the moon passed over the sun?..trumpets and drums?...a mad desire to kill an animal or human to make the sun come back?
Right after totality was over a coupla hundred people started clapping like at the end of a performance. I looked at the stranger standing a few feet from me and asked, “I wonder if they even know who they are applauding?”
I saw totality. Amazing. Sudden plunge to near darkness, animals freaking out, black disk ringed with plumes, people yelling & crying, fireworks exploding, then the “diamond ring” and light ramped up fast.
