It will get "darker" but about only one half the sun will be eclipsed in New York. If you want to see a total solar eclipse, you'll have to drive down to the northeast corner of GA or southern edges of the carolinas. You'll get an apocalypse all right, but it won't have anything to do with the eclipse. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:884891919] in I have an ...
