    It'll last a few minutes.

    Yes, of course the stars tend to be more active at night. Everybody knows this. The rest of the stuff you are concerned aboot is fake news.

    Dear Frost:

    Being old gives me the advantage of having lived through many natural and historical events.

    In college, around 1968-1969 ish, there was a total eclipse. It was not totally dark. It was an eerie "darkness", lighter than dusk, and kinda like how dark or light it is when the sky is filled with low hanging thunderheads .

    I recall a sense of eeriness. And no wildlife sounds. There was coincidentally no wind, so the stillness and lack of midday light was eerie.

    That's the real beauty of eclipse. Don't bother trying to look at the sun with the props. Just experience the otherworldliness of it.

    Yours truly,
    Forecaster Betty

    Actually I gust spoke with a scientist and he says we will have multiple sharknados. So I won't matter if your in the water or not. Get your shark repellant, spearguns, dynamite, and whatever deterrent works for you and lock herself in the SE corner of the nearest building. That right...LOCK!
    Oh yea and some cheap sunglasses will help.

    if u go in the ocean during an eclipse you most definitely will be eaten by a great white shark.

    it is believed the great white has prayed to the sun god and god will answer with the eclipse,so yea its like open season for shark attacks
