We are in the path for a 2 hr, %96 eclipse. The gods are angry. Sodom and Gomorrah. I feel I may be partially responsible…maybe more than partially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocking the sun should cause a cooling effect. Perhaps this anomaly, only affecting you, is caused by a recent vaccination or 5g install in your neighborhood.

From what I understand a lot of the available rooms and vacation rentals in the area are booked due to the event. It is crazy ,10,000 rooms been sold out for weeks for something that lasts 3 minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in the direct path, all the hotels in Syracuse are booked full (based on what the local news is saying) also they are really pumping up the scare, the County Executive was on the radio this morning telling everyone to make sure everyone had a full tank in their cars and are stocked up on groceries..It's like a 5-ish hour event from what I have read (very little research) but yeah, we are all planning on tossing on the welding helmet and taking a look for a bit and then back to work..

J. Jackson Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 On the down side is the remarkable greed that happens. I'm all about capitalism but some of the shit happening is bs. Rumor is that gas prices, of which is pretty much controlled in our area by one supplier, will have a $2 raise in price. Fields are being rented out for $50 per person, shit like that. If anyone wants to sit in my yard let me know, it's on the house! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going by what the local news said and what I heard on the radio this morning about the path it's taking thru Syracuse NY, I was speaking casually not like I was trying to be exact. Anyway Looks like you might be thinking when the "total eclipse" is happening. From start to finish here it's a few hours process.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total eclipse lasts several minutes, if you want to watch the eclipse from partial to total and back to partial it will take several hours if you want time lapse pics or video....... ...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
