We had to change our time for moving to South Carolina. We did not want to arrive during a solar eclipse.

On August 21, 2017, there was a total solar eclipse visible in Charleston SC. This was a preliminary picture from early in the event.
I did not have special super-dark filters for photographing the sun, so I counted on getting moment of full eclipse.

When it was close to time for the eclipse, clouds closed in. It looked like there would be clouds blocking the actual eclipse.
Fortunately, the opening in the clouds expanded a little. The eclipse is beginning.
Nearly a total solar eclipse visible. No zoom.
