It'll be as dark as a normal day of heavy Thunderstorms on the Gulf Coast..
transtar has been green all morning
Total nothing burger in the tine.
Isn't it about 200 miles to the path of totality?
This eclipse is making me tired.

Yeah but if wasn't crappy weather you'd still be able to see partial eclipse.
There is currently no sun out at all and crappy weather.
People are crying on tv
people are ******ed.
we got a good break in the clouds downtown just in time to catch a glimpse.
no tears were shed.

Clouds broke up a little here at CityCentre and we got to see it a few times.

We would have had 94/95% coverage.
Buddy sent me this from Coryell County. Said it was cool but he wouldn't have driven anywhere to see it.
And now we get the phenomenon of everyone posting the exact same crappy phone photos to social media…..
traffic time: and here we go...
Just enough break in clouds down here.
The eclipse was so awesome!!
Drove from Katy to Rogers TX, a little traffic north of Brenham going up but none coming back, and the clouds cooperated.
Mostly went to hang out with my kid.

Booked it out of Marlin as soon as totality broke. Felt like leaving CS after a football game. Luckily stayed ahead of most of it and got back in 2.4 hrs. You could tell it was turning to a **** show really fast. Good luck to anyone trying to make the drive today.

Traffic fear way overblown. Spectacular sight during totality
Left north Austin within 10m of totality ending. Got home in just over 2:10 with no traffic. Was awesome of you dummies talking about watching it in Houston just need to stfu because even if the sky had been clear you wouldn't have seen anything cool

Oh it was cool..
Left Ennis at 2 p.m. Took around 30 minutes extra on 45, but nothing too bad.

I didn't know you could look at it when it's total. That was pretty neat. Not as cool as a day hike up a 14er, but still pretty neat. And better than a day at work.

Ha...my phone pics were awful.

Hit a bit of traffic on 10 but nothing too crazy. Had to get creative with the route a bit. At 146 and 10 now. Traffic added about an hour to the trip I would say but I have been driving like a bat out of hell
First two from my son in Dallas. Last two from Horseshoe Bay. Seriously a cool event. We had Dark Side of the Moon cranking and cocktail flowing. Fun time.
Traffic was pretty bad coming back from Waco. Took an hour longer than it usually does. It was worth every minute though!
Traffic was really bad coming back from Boerne/San Antonio to Houston.
Drove up to Reagan with the family and left within 5-10 mins of totality ending. We were going to go to Marlin but found a spot. Traffic wasn't bad at all getting back but k ow some folks who went to Waco that said traffic sucked getting back.

This is a terrible take from your buddy. Totality far exceeded my expectations. It is a completely different experience in taking in the eclipse. The experience makes you feel so insignificant compared to the wonders of the universe and how there must be a creator that set all this into motion. Anything outside of totality is very meh in comparison.
I get now why people chase it all over the planet. When the darkness turns to light there is a sense of sadness that it's over so quickly.
