I kind of figured as much.

I viewed the 2017 eclipse from Greenville, SC and remember experiencing much the same. The sudden drop in temperature did something to move the clouds out of the way or something.

The 2017 eclipse we viewed from the Greenville Zoo, and that was cool as hell. Animals went nuts. Some local college set up Go-Pros in front of a bunch of exhibits to view the animals reactions.

Also there was a local at the concession stand telling his partner, on the phone, that he was in the "food line", but throgh his accemt they thought he was saying "Food Lion" (regional grocery chain) and hilarity ensued.

Oh, and someone offered me a "cool rag". I'd never heard of such a thing (I'm the sweaty type, for sure though, and I'm from the cooler New England), and was kind of grossed out at first by the idea. But in retrospect I do appreciate the hospitality.
