I saw the total solar eclipse of what was it, Aug 23rd 2017? I was at Salem Oregon, pretty much right in the center of the path.
It was spectacular - and weird.
The weird part was looking all around us and it looked like sunrise in every direction!
And it was weird seeing the stars during the day.

For me the weirdest part was hearing night insects making their noises during totality and then shutting off, when the sun started shining again. It also turned noticeably cooler. But looking at that black hole in the sky surrounded by the light of the corona...

By all means if you get a chance get into the path of totality. You won’t forget it.
