We saw the total eclipse at our home in Muncie, Indiana. We sat in our courtyard and enjoyed it. It was 100% at about 3:07 pm to 3:11 pm. EST The sky was cloud free.
In the early 1960's I played semi-pro baseball. One of our games was played inside the walls of a state prison in Pendleton, IN. We played the inmates baseball team. The outfield fence was the prison walls.
I live in Indiana and have had a natural gas powered generator for nearly 10 years. I know several people in our area that have one. It has been used several times in the 10 years.
