Ummm ... well it’s a darkening unlike any other that you’ve seen under other circumstances. It suddenly gets quiet ... the animals and birds know something different is going on. And seeing a huge shadow rushing up on you at about 1,800 MPH is a different experience.
Once you’ve gone through one, you know it’s unlike anything else you’ve seen and experienced.
In Goldendale, Washington Imcould see the shadow band to the south and see the sun was shining brightly off in the distance, while we were in this weird and dim twilight.
I saw it outside Yakima WA. you can bet I’ll seek out a clear spot for this one. One of the coolest things I’ve seen in my whole life.
