Today I witness the total solar eclipse that occurred on August 21st 2017.

It was a great event that happen to me about 40 miles west of st.louis, MO.

The day was great, overall mostly sunny with a few clouds lingering above.

I showed up at around 10 am right before it started happening.

At noon through our special eclipse glasses you could see part of the moon pass through the sun.

Then about 1:17pm CST that's when the magic began. The moon was covering 100% of the sun.

Not sure how long this lasted but I think around a minute or so for the total solar eclipse.

During this time the outdoors looked like dusk. The temperature dropped about 15 degrees with no humidity, the sky dimmed, I even heard crickets chirping. It was amazing.

As soon as it came, it all disappeared.

For that brief moment I witnessed history in the making.

Here are some photos below of the event. I also have real video footage of the actual total solar eclipse by going here: https://www.facebook.com/allucky.scheinkman/videos/699872603552253/
