This was the most incredible thing to be able to experience. I hope I never forget how amazing it was to watch the sun just totally disappear like that. So thankful to be an Indy girl today

After witnessing this in person, i can see why people in the past thought the world was ending.

I’d be crying if I were in Indianapolis too.

About 44 years ago I saw it as a child in New Zealand. The most amazing thing that I never forgot was the sudden cold. Much colder than a dark cloud. And then the heat returns. Was so cool

We must worship the Creator and not the created. Give God the glory for giving us a show and tell of His creation. Imagine seeing God who is the greatest light. God is in control. Psalms 148: 3. Praise Him sin and moon. That is what the sun and moon did today, they were obedient by fulfilling God's word. His glory is on display. Praise my God, the Creator of heaven and earth. That why I serve Him. He is amazing!

I’m so glad I got to experience this. About 30 minutes beforehand I noticed the sky started to get gradually darker, which up until a few minutes before the peak the sky looked like somebody put a translucent cover over the earth, which it it was still bright out but not as much as normal. I went right outside my home, recorded it, and felt exhilarated with a sense of calm at the same time. There were people cheering in my neighborhood and a few set off fireworks in celebration. My home security cameras actually went into infrared mode because of how dark the sky had gotten. I’m so happy I got to experience something like this

Acts 2:19-21
[19]I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
[20]The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
[21]And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
