    The path of totality came very close to my home and it was fairly easy for my wife and myself to pack a tent and camp in a national forest to watch the eclipse. When I talked to friends who were also in the path of totality, they had a lot of different odd phenomena they experienced. Did you notice the shimmering waves of rainbow light prior to totality? How about a sudden drop in temperature? Did you see the coronal mass ejection at about the 2 O'clock position? How about the crescent shaped shadows? I am wondering if some of you would share your experiences.

    I was in the city of DC (downtown) when this thing happened. It was dark, and an odd orange glow. It also suddenly became super humid. The power went off in our building for some reason. Probably from construction next door, but it was still odd.
