I live about the middle of Ky. The total ended around Bowling Green. We had 95 % here. Our Library had 200 viewing glasses to hand out & had many activities available for kids as the time for our 95% was around 2:30pm . They also had a room that was showing the NASA real time feed across the nation which was very educational.
I thought it would be boring just watching it at home on my farm. Much more fun viewing it with the community. I was too late to get the viewing glasses but shared with my friends & I actually got a great photo with my phone camera using the glasses over the lense. Only one photo turned out perfect. The others were rather fuzzy & the shadow wasnt clear on them. It was a great experience. We didnt have any clouds in our area though there were thunder heads all around on the horizon so we got a perfect view of the 95% & a great experience with how it lowered the light & cooled down our 90°F day by about 10°.
Great experience & fun to share with friends. I hadnt heard about the librsry until yesterday so it was last minute planning on my part & a 10 minute drive into town. Glad I decided to go.
