Solar eclipse in Northeast Ohio: Cleveland experiences totality 

Having seen several partial eclipses, NOTHING comes even close to seeing it at 100%!!! Such gratitude it was overwhelming.

Give this lady a raise she did an excellent play-by-play and made it easily understandable to grasp what was going on the whole time. She knows her stuff!!!!

Almost 4 minutes of totality. I will never forget seeing this in person ever

I drove about 6 hours round trip to be able to see it in totality. I was told it would be worth it, and they were right. It was one of the most speechless moments I've ever had in my life. Seeing in person beats this a thousand times over. I'll be making arrangements to see the next one in 2044. I hope I'll be blessed enough to show my future children such a beautiful event.

Had totality in Lewis Center, Ohio for just over a minute. We travelled to the one 7 years ago but only got into a 95% zone. There is no comparison. If you don't experience totality you cannot understand. One of the most incredible things I've experienced in my 60 years.

Dude that woman was awesome!! She explained that so perfectly that I completely understood what I was looking at!!!

this video can not begin to show how beautiful it was in person. it was awe inspiring and amazing. i cried upon seeing it.

Absolutely mind-blowing to be able to see those huge solar flares with the naked eye. What an incredible historical moment for this city

That light flash from when the moons goes completely over the sun is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

We experience it in Arkansas for 2 min. These pics do NOT do it justice. It is truly beyond description to see in person.

So glad I was in Cleveland with my mom to experience this amazing event. I'll never forget this! No pictures or videos compare to seeing this in person!

Travelled from Manitoba, Canada to see this eclipse in Ohio. It was truly an amazing experience!!!

We were on Lima Ohio .. 4 minutes of totality ... No words to explain how AMAZING the view was... Thank you Lord for clear skies... Experience of a lifetime 💗💗💗

Thank you Northeast Ohio for gifting us with an unusual minimal-cloud day to see this great spectacle. SO out of character ! ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Cleveland!!! I drove 500 miles from Wisconsin to see the eclipse in Cleveland! Wow, what an experience!

Wow … YAHWEY - your works proclaim your Amazing wisdom and majesty! You are supreme and above all, and you are worthy of our praise 🎉

what a beautiful experience to remember my birthday, today is my birthday

Can you imagine how frightening this would have been for the people years ago that didn’t know what was happening.

The most amazing thing I have ever witnessed in my life!!! 100% totality in Cleveland!!!!

We drove 4hrs to Carbondale IL., from Memphis. Totality was 4mins and 8sec....it was the most humbling, grateful and awesome experience seeing that God is in control and alllll THIS is no accident....mighty are the works of His hands...

Listening to people blab and make bad jokes during an event like this really takes away from the magnificence of what's happening. It was the best time for silence, listening to nature. The crickets started chirping. Birds changed their songs. It was amazing.

From where I was here in Ohio, that was one truly amazing experience! I hope to hold onto these memories forever!

If watched with glasses, could see a red dot at bottom and the flares arcing. Was beautiful.

INCREDIBLE. BREATHTAKING. I have never seen that before on vid in my life. Only pictures. One of God's many incredible miracles.

WoW. Incredible...and it made me strangely emotional.

Just beautiful! Partial Eclipses don't compare.

We had an eclipse like that (but just over 2 minutes of totality) in Romania too, in August 1999, and at that time it was also exciting! I was a kid and the year 2000 was coming :) . There were plenty of clouds lurking around on the sky too, but yet we were able to see the „totality plate” by the book! 🌑

We had totality here in Leamington, Ontario - right across the lake from you guys. I've never seen anything like it. But somehow, in all the excitement, I can barely remember what it looked like! I don't even know how that could happen... I think it seemed so unreal that my mind wasn't sure if I should commit it to memory...? For hours later, I was asking my friends if it even happened, or if it was all a dream! I was in a major viewing area with thousands of people, and the energy was absolutely incredible. I remember looking around and realizing that there was a ring of sunset all around us, while the land around us was shimmering from all of the streetlights in the town coming on at once. And I know I was looking at it, but I remember more of how I felt than what I saw. I know I looked at it for a bit longer at the end, and that's the one visual I could see clearly in my mind. Specifically the right side of it, where I could see these incredible, vivid red flares, and these extra sparkles of light around the rim. I remember hearing about "Bailey's Beads" and immediately knew that it was what I was seeing. And I have this final, vivid memory of the "diamond ring" coming back, and how everything around us lit up like a sunrise on all sides. Anyway, I'm so glad that people took such amazing videos of this - it's really helping to jog my memory. I think some part of me truly thought that it wasn't real... it feels like a beautiful dream that I can barely remember.

A once in a lifetime experience

It honestly makes you realize just how big the universe is, we are but ants when you think about it. Such an awesome thing to see.

Loved it - had a full 3.5 minutes of totality and the clouds held out. Truly amazing once in a lifetime experience here.

I like how she keeps putting the glasses up to her eyes and then taking them off while still looking at the sun

With my children and grandchildren in Richardson Texas. What a blessing to see this event with my loved ones. 🥰

I wasn’t sure what to expect but it’s one of the coolest experiences I’ve had. I’m glad I finally got to experience a total eclipse at the age of 47. lol

My wife and saw this today in Orrville...I have to admit...it WAS SO WORTH THE TRIP and the hype was well-deserved as totality is a visual and emotional TREAT...WE WERE WOW WOW WOW !!!!

I live in northeast Ohio, it was so surreal like something from out of this universe, I am 22 and that is my first totality and my god it was amazing

The solar eclipse was really cool to see!

I'm in Northeast Ohio and this was the coolest thing I have ever seen in my entire life!

Awesome!!! How can people not believe in God with events like this?! Beautiful!!!

I’m 22 years old and have wanted to see a total eclipse since I was that crazy space kid at age 7 and it finally happened. Words cannot describe how otherworldly and breath taking it is. The total realization how small and meaningless we are in our vast universe. I shouted (along with others whos noises echoed through the neighborhood) and then cried with joy . If you have a deep connection to space or nature as a whole please try to see it. The whole short experience is unforgettable.

This is absolutely beautiful and God is so so great

I liveinLorain and in was awesome, beautiful, spiritual, mysterious this was one of the best times of my 66 years on earth....thank you WKYC you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never seen amazing thing like this before , it was beautiful 🤩

Truly one of the most incredible moments of my life. I was so blessed to be able to experience that with my kids.

It was insanely incomprehensibly breathtaking in person…WOW!!!

I live in Northwest Austin, and we had cloud cover all day. My parents live about 35 minutes north of me and about 45 minutes before Totality hit them, they told me the clouds were clear so I literally raced the shadow of the moon to get up there. Coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

Man I'm from Cleveland Ohio and that was the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life ❤️

Thank you for replaying it for me. Seeing it in person once was not enough!

Cleveland here, my first time ever seeing a solar eclipse. It was everything I thought it would be. Just stunning 🌞🌑

It was the dopest thing I’ve seen in my life!

Thanks wkyc for a well done video!

I traveled to Burlington Vermont to witness totality. I'm so very glad I did! Hands down the most amazing sight I've ever seen. It can't be explained. No photograph could ever do it justice! It's an experience you have to live to understand.

Best 3.5 minutes of her life. Her Husband: "Hold my beer"

I saw a solar flare at the bottom. It was beautiful

People remember we are nothing in the great theater of the universe. Be kind to each other, we are sailing this boat together.

Thanks for posting this video. I do appreciate all that we missed about 120 miles NE of you due to the clouds you had in the morning.

Those solar prominences are insane! To be able to just look up and just see them because of the eclipse is wild!

God you’re truly real , i love it when you show up and you show off,thank you Jesus.

This was so amazing. I live in New Hampshire and whatever my wildest expectations, they were exceeded. I was so in awe that even from 50% onward my mouth hung open in awe with a huge grin on my face (I even drooled during the eclipse, normally I would have freaked out about since that's very unladylike, but this time I didn't care, I was too overwhelmed with emotion to be grossed out, so I just let myself feel all the tidal wave of emotions). Also during the lead up to totality I had to keep yelling at my younger brother "Don't look at the sun! Don't look at the sun!" and kept telling him put his eclipse glasses on if he wants to look. Then totality arrived and I said "okay, you can look" and just seeing this indescribable sight. I spent weeks in the lead up talking about it nonstop and I'm going to maybe talk about it nonstop for another few weeks (a few people even nicknamed me "eclipse girl", haha).

Cuyahoga National Park was the perfect viewing party, absolutely breathtaking

Greentown Ohio here. Seen it with my father in the driveway. 100% solar maximum totality for almost 4 straight minutes. Even some stars came out to play. What a show and so blessed to see it. This eclipse was beyond amazing and I will take the blessing and the memory of being able to share it with my father with me until my last breath. However what’s even more amazing to me is that anyone on this earth could not believe in our Lord Jesus Christ for one millisecond. That’s what truly amazes me. I will never understand that!

In Dallas the clouds played nice and we got to see it unobstructed. Glad to see you saw it clearly in Cleveland as well! Great vidro!

Wow that was amazing. Thank you for sharing😊😊

I live in Avon and it was amazing to see the Eclipse. The weather cooperated and we got a great view.

Watching it in person, what took me by surprise was how beautiful that last little flash came before and after. The cameras don’t do it justice!

After witnessing this awe inspiring event firsthand today, I can only imagine what prehistoric people in the path of totality thought before anyone knew what it was. They must've thought it was the end of the world.

Thank you so much for posting this.

Betsy's commentary was excellent. This is the best footage I've seen. I was on the north side of Lake Erie and so we also got to see a very fluffy corona. Could see 3-5 prominences. Beautiful and breathtaking.

It was an otherwordly experience so much!! I will never forget this. I looked at it from beginning to end and we were beginning to have clouds, here, in Châteauguay! I prayed to see the eclipse and I did!! So grageful!❤

And it was beautiful

Wow.......... thank you for sharing this beautiful moment for us ❤❤❤

This video is pure perfection! 😍💖💖💖 Thank you so much for all the emotions shared and the Nasa video of the eclipse is amazing, absolutely fabulous! 🙏🏵🌞

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for this spectacular experience! To have experienced this in my hometown of Berea, Ohio just made it even more so. It was, without a doubt, the fastest 4 minutes of my life.

Truly awesome event to behold 😲

Awesome, we saw it just for about a minute and 20 seconds east of Dayton in South West Ohio, but feel blessed to have been able to see it even for that long. 3-4 minutes though you guys were super blessed! But overall, it was just a beautiful day in Ohio, glad for all Ohioans that could experience the Eclipse.

How amazing Gods creation! Psalm 19:1. Perfection of creation that can only bear the mark of a perfect Creator. All glory and honor to Him!

This was amazing to see. I will never forget!!! ❤

This is a gift truly to us all that saw this, so lets always appreciate nature and time❤❤❤

Excellent coverage. Thank you!

That was incredible! Wow

Thank you Lord God Almighty for this amazing eclipse

This is one of the best coverages of the eclipse I've watched. Very informative, and I felt like there was an appropriate level of excitement, not too over the top. And the footage trained on the sun/moon was perfect. I only got about 87% eclipse in my region. I hope to experience a total eclipse someday. I'll have to plan a vacation around it somewhere.

A sweet live glimpse of an active fusion reactor also known as our sun! Great story, great reporting, great video and great sound quality! Thank you everyone at WKYC Channel 3!

We enjoyed watching at port Clinton Ohio,birds went crazy flying in circles and got very noisy!👍 plus insects got loud, what they say is true plus that godly feeling when you look up to the sky🙏🙏👌totally worth the traffic we endured!

This coverage was perfection.

My hands went numb I was flooded with so much adrenaline. Wasn't watching any livefeed or anything, just in my back yard with my wife. Seeing the magnetic plasma arcs of the sun with your own eyes (through binoculars) was absolutely incredible and one of the best experiences of my life. I've been a space-geek all my life so this was extremely special for me

This coverage, especially the female reporter, was awesome!! The music and cameras all added to the excellency. Great job, WKYC Cleveland, Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!! We didn't have the total eclipse in our area in Denver. Thank you for sharing it! I felt like I was there seeing it with you!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

God is Great!🙏😍 Thank you Cleveland for this wonderful coverage.

Thanks God, I needed that.

Drove 3 hours to Vincennes IN to see it and it did not disappoint. Absolutely amazing!

I saw the total eclipse in Kent, Ohio, yesterday and it’s remarkable how much light and warmth the sun gives off even with only a tiny fraction of light reaching us. Seconds before totality the whole atmosphere became magical and at totality I took my glasses off and the corona around the moon was just breathtaking.

Can you imagine what people must have thought back some thousands of years ago before they had any knowledge of this stuff that we do.

God is great! Amazing to see it in Toledo.

Such a fantastic moment in history 🌕🌘🌒🌑. Great video 👍👍

Got to see this today in N of Columbus. Let me to tell you it was one of the most beautiful and magical things I had ever seen in my life. I hope you can experience something like this is in your life time. Pictures will never do justice.

All the animals were silent where I was in Tx and the birds began singing their morning songs when it was over. What a magical time.

This is the closest to a spiritual experience I think I will ever have. Just amazing

Would have love to be there, but this is the second best thing. Thank you to all that film it and upload it.

Thank you for sharing this! How exciting!

Thank you. You are one of the few videos that have a well rounded coverage including the ground around and the total video of the sun and moon. It was great to share since we in Spokane, WA only had a few moments of a partial eclipse because of the clouds.❤
