I need to put on some mosquito repellent or else this Blood Moon will take on a double meaning.
Thanks for posting, I just wandered outside and caught it. Posting from my pad here in the front yard.
Me too! The sky is also clear and full of stars here in Dallas.
In Dallas, the moon just looks greyed-out. Explains why I can’t click on it with my mouse.
Freakish. Just as the last sliver of light faded from view a couple of mutts somewhere in the fields let out blood curdling howls. Hair on the back of my neck stood up. Fighting cloud cover here in Central CA. :-(
Just went out and saw it from Texas. It’s not as spectacular as other past events because the moon is somewhat low on the horizon, and the high thin clouds are a little obscuring,
Does the blood moon have Muslim significance? As a potential date for something bad to happen?
Interesting.
Bookmarking....
Watching it right now.Deep red and looking heavy hanging in the sky.Beautifull sight and beautifull night here in Oz
Clearly visible;e with some spotty clouds
Glad I saw it.
Totally obscured by clouds now.
Greetings catnipman:
Thanks for the reminder. While mostly cloudy during the beginning phases, skies clearing for the last quarter.
Cheers,

Re your #13; Here in Maine it seems to be pretty much the same. It was raining here this morning and almost every celestial spectacle gets at least clouded over.
This “Blood Moon” coincides with the beginning of a SHEMITAH year according to Jewish tradition, as well as the ancient festival of booths or “Sukkot”.
Many Eschatologists place profound prophetic significance upon all this.
Is something of Biblical or even apocalyptic magnitude about to break out?
Stay tuned!

Rabbi Jonathan CAHN, author of the prophetic book “The Harbinger” recently published a book about the 7th year Shemitah, the latest of which began towards the end of last month.

Wifey got up with symptoms of a cold at 3am....so we here in the Kalifornia desert got to see virtually the entire event.
Took a walk early this morning here in south central Pennsylvania. It was only partially visible through the clouds. Still impressive though.
Are you ready for Blood Glacier?
The reddish color is supposed to come from the sunlight passing through the earth's atmosphere making the earth appear to have a red ring around it from the moon. At least someone on TV said that this morning, someone who has never been to the moon.
call me a superstitious old fool but this Blood Moon thing is an Omen—in a few days something bad is going to happen to the USA. Lots of folks may die! Hold your breath—get your supplies ready—food, water, first aid kit, Batteries, radio and flashlights. Three days suppy or more. We will know in a week or so. Time for all those folks in Dallas to start throwing up.
