It was brightly lit night. The moon was white and full. I'm getting ready to turn in for the night and I notice it is dark outside. I go out in the yard, look up and there is this most spectacular sight. The moon is red!
The sky is a clear and cloud fee as can be. One star next to the moon seems blue and another almost the same red as the moon.
It is quiet outside. A couple dogs barking in the distance but otherwise really still. I don't usually get too excited by events like this but I gazed at the moon for quite a while tonight.
From the graphic at the link, we are right in the middle of the red most shading of the moon where I am. The website sure is right. It is red.
It rained all night here, so no blood moon. Does that mean the Apocalypse will not happen in Alabama and Mississippi?
No red here in So Cal either....just a dingy brownish.
In *all* of the eclipses that have been visible here, I saw one in 1982 and another in 1993.
Where I live, it must be a hard and fast rule “Change of moon, change of weather.”
I suppose I need to hope for rain *before* one is due to get the right “change”.
The night before this one, I was out with the dogs and the train a mile away sounded like it was bearing down upon me.
I knew then it would certainly rain the next day and like always, it did.
Must be something about these mountains.
I was wearing my rose-tinted specs. at the time!
