Both Hag Hillary and Leacherous Leon Panetta are both in Australlia.
I’ll wager it’s not a natural eclispe, but their evil darkness blotting out the sun.
Their force is strong..

That’s not a total eclipse, that a picture of the sun taken from behind Hillary Clinton’s ass.

Where I am, it was 96% totality. Nice.
Not sure any of my digital photos turned out, haven’t checked yet.

I was a bit further south – In Toowoomba (google it).
only got about 85% of totality, enough to make the sky darker, but not black.

Well Novista and Mikey, I hope to join you guys over there in a few years. If the US completely goes to shit and they close the borders, it might take a little extra time. Or, if I get splattered by federal troops or zombies, then I guess I won’t make it. Other than that, there’s a few things to wrap up here and I’ll be on the boat.
