total solar eclipse today in the ville

Apr 8, 2024

Crothersville is in the path of totality for the solar eclipse today. Mark Weinberg, WDRB’s Chief Meteorologist, will be observing from Seymour, Indiana.

Expect deep twilight as the moon hides the sun.

I’m guessing there will be a gazillion people trying to get an amazing photo of the occurrence — and I’m also guessing we’ll see most of them on Facebook later today. Photos of the eclipse taken with a phone’s camera won’t likely produce anything spectacular. 😎

Locally, our bank is closed for the day and a bar in Seymour is offering eclipse margarita’s for $6 bucks (and they look so nasty I’d have to take a hard pass). Versailles State Park has been full for a month and there’s not a hotel room nearby to be had.

Now you know: Experts say pet owners shouldn’t worry about the eclipse because animals do not naturally look at the sun.
