The emotional guy here, it was really great to meet you! So glad you got to document our experience
Hey Mark! You’re passion and all your friends made this experience that much more enjoyable for me. Hope to see you on a storm sometime!
Thanks man, I’ve been waiting for a video like this all day! 🤗
I am glad you found it!
THANKS GUYS !😅🎉💞🥳👍
Thank you for watching!
Wow so y’all were at Nimrod lake too ? That’s crazy we were just chasing Weather. Arkansas looked good Sunday night so we left east Texas at 6pm. Drove to Hot Springs, looked around decided to head north into the national park because of clouds and longer totality. We just looked for the nearest lake on Google maps and ended up there! It was great! The weather and the eclipse were awesome. I saw 2017 but today was my brother’s first and now he’s hooked too. Wish we could have met yall.
Yes small world and great minds think alike lol! Glad you had that experience too! Perfect place for it too!
We needed the eclipse!!
Since the pandemic, it seems there's has been nothing but doom and gloom.
Today, we got together as a country, with family and friends, and simply enjoyed a happy day!🙂 🌖 🌙
God is good!
I couldn’t agree more!
All the time
Hi JOHNATHAN,
TY for video..
I was outside..we had clouds..saw nothing...some rain..but heard no birds.....felt weird vibes
Today...hearing no birds was weird..
Ty for video...GOD'S blessings today...❤😊
Thank you for watching! Sorry the clouds blocked the view but still had a chance to feel it at least!
This is a spectacular video Jonathan! I’m the Virginia Tech guy in the green shirt. Thank you for spending this special moment with us and documenting it for others to experience. It was truly magical
I appreciate you watching and it was such a pleasure to share the moment with you guys!
Was part of the big group there! Most of us are from VT (me wearing a VT shirt) and OU and drive HRS upon HRS to get AR. Was an experience I will never forget, and thank you, Jonathan, for the interviews!
You guys were so fun to talk to and the passion made it that much more enjoyable for me! So lucky we got to experience that!
Thank you for sharing. I truly enjoyed listening to the interviews; the stories of how they made their journeys to witness this event and observing their emotions was beautiful. 🙌 ❤
Thank you for watching!
Because "the heavens declare the glory of God". We are overwhelmed because we were created to connect with our magnificent, loving Creator! Witnessing His power, genius, and majesty through the impossibility of a total solar eclipse just thrills our souls because we are witnessing a tiny calling card of the divine. Jesus is IT, kids. Call on His name!
Well said sis and what a small world to see you here. 😁 Jesus' grace surely is the best gift to mankind and personally as for me, would not have it any other way, as I know I would have been completely lost if it was not for such amazing; unconditional grace and love from Christ. The eclipse feeling of joy is a tiny speck, even less than a speck, compared to joy that comes from Jesus when knowing His grace is truth and would not exchange His grace for anything that this world can give which is so temperary.
🤍🕊️🤍
I like that... a tiny calling card!
We can only imagine...
Really was something as someone else said, our country needed. Shared joy.
@@John_Lete amen soooo true 🥰🥰🥰🥰 good to see you brother!
We only got to 92% here. It didn't get as dark as I thought. That extra 8% really makes a difference! I made a video show casing this on my channel.
Yes it is literally night and day. Very moving experience
Wow, only got to see partial in San Diego. Amazing 😭
If you ever get a chance, definitely try making it totality. It is a totally different experience.
"It makes me feel like I am a part of something bigger"...well there is someone bigger whom created it all and his name is God, and he created the world and all that we see and even all that we can not see, that mankind marvels at all it sees, and yet sadly mankind turns its head from God when it comes to giving credit to the Creator God. God have mercy for we know not what we do.
It’s a moving moment and as someone mentioned earlier, really something our country needed…free of politics and division, we instead shared in joy collectively.
I can tell you, the experience we felt was sheer soul cleansing and a rebirth feeling. What a treasure God gifted us, who witnessed this cosmic wonder. Tears flowed for a reason and the witnesses understand.
It was really special
Wonderful emotional Documentation ! Great Drone Work from Brandon and your Part is also amazing and very emotionally touching. The Storys behind the People. The Spot you have selected is also somewhere I would take a boat out and enjoy some Day off in peace.
Thank you! Yes it is a beautiful area, very calm and we were blessed to be able to witness something this special there.
The woman with the Pink Floyd shirt on made me chuckle with her words.
I’m glad you were where so that you could see the total eclipse. I was in Arkansas at a McDonald’s off I-40 in 2017 and though we did not see a total eclipse, it did get darker and cooler for a bit, and then it got warmer and brighter again. Awesome experience then and glad I experienced with others there.
She was a character 😅
April 8, was my second totality. This is my take on it:
As close to a miracle as you can possibly get. Nothing else comes close. You get to feel the connection between you, and the universe. We, are in space, and while our eyes are glued to the eclipsed sun, our minds wonder off to another world. You feel insignificance, happiness, fear, excitement, pure awe, sadness, and so much more all at the same time. You get to see that things are way bigger than our problems here on Earth ever will be. You get a sense of time as well. Time is fleeting, we get older each day while the Sun and Moon do their daily dance in our sky.
One day, a solar eclipse will occur, and I will not be around anymore to catch that eclipse.
I will try for Spain in 2026, for the next total solar eclipse.
Well said! I hope to do the same in 2026!
Lovely from your home state Texas right? Yep last one that side 1806 after that 2024 and another 400 years then next one coooooolllllllllll
God bless always guys
Thank you! No, we were right next door in Arkansas
I was very excited to see totality. I was nit expecting the tears, shaking and emotional reaction that i had. I live in Arkansas 30 minutes from totality. I thought the weather was going to screw us.
Leading up to it most forecasts were calling for clouds…and then nearly everyone had clear skies or a good view thankfully
I was just south of Ola, AR on top of a mountain in a little roadside park that filled to capacity by 10a. Must have been close to me, perfect weather too here. Got great shots.
You were super close to us…we kept moving until we decided about an hour before the eclipse to stop at Nimrod Lake. Super clear skies and what a show
@@JonathanPetramala nice, I saw nimrod lake in the valley down below
Great coverage though, Mr. Weather. 👏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful footage 🔥 thank you. Very moving! Saw it in 2017! It’s like a God concert.
Thank you! Glad you were able to go in 2017!
Some of us just did't see a thing. Not even a blip! But that looks super cool and a little creepy.😮😊
Where were you? We woke up at 3 AM in Dallas and made our way to Arkansas to avoid the clouds
@@JonathanPetramalamust be at Kailua Maui Island Hawaii USA near the Equator you cannot see any darkness at all
Meself in Fiji Islands it was night time here in South Pacific Region countries and we in the tropics lattitudes Jetstreams southern
There was not even the sight of the moon at all for hours last night April 8th 2024 to April 9th 2024 we on the other side the night side quite obvious you know
I don’t know! 🤷
Yes, it was freaky, but was not emotional for me !
To each their own 🤷♂️
@@JonathanPetramala i was not trying to be rude 🤗 - i can get very emotional about many things (walked into the figure skating championship a few weeks ago and cried several times even though i didn’t know a single skater !) - I just didn’t find the eclipse emotional at all and so i find it fascinating that many people do!
@@louern123not at all, I understand :)
I don’t get it. It’s weird that anyone cares about this 🤣 I survived incest, abusive boyfriends threatening my life, 4 drugging and rapes, and now I’m three years sober.
Maybe y’all haven’t been through very much, but this was anti-climactic for me.
Did you go into the path of totality?
@@JonathanPetramala no. On purpose no. If it happened to be in my neighborhood, then there is some magic in that happenstance. And it may have moved me, based on that majesty appearing instantaneously without warning, and ending just as quickly.
On the contrary… to plan, to travel, to convene, to post online about it, book a hotel.. to try to avoid expecting dashed…. To get ALL excited about it… to perform those rituals ...that would falsify the experience me me🙋🏼♀️
The act of changing my day for anything, to anticipate anything so warmly, to seek out purpose, is in turn, exactly how to find to purpose.
I always find purpose. Not in the result, but in the journey.
There have been other cosmic events in my lifetime, (I’m 42) in which I’ve partook, and yes, they were interesting. Although, without really good telescopes and photo lens’s, I could never even see them in their clarity. . Until now of course.
The technology, and coverage like yours, allows the enjoyment from afar.
Your totality piece moved me, because it moved them. Thank you ‼️🫶🏽👏🏽
Magnetizing. 🌚
Awesome video.
Thank you for watching!
