Pretty much anywhere you were in central taxes today, the sky looked like this. A total eclipse, eclipse by clouds. You were one of the lucky ones if you were in Fredericksburg, though. At the point of totality, lightness quickly turned to almost complete darkness. It's where more than 100 people from all over the world traveled for this rare moment. You kind of struck by the enormity of it. At first you feel really small because these huge objects are happening in the sky. Gloomy skies didn't just threaten the view of the total eclipse. They also raised concerns of severe weather looming and burn it, where the Texas Eclipse Festival was supposed to take place, but was canceled because of that risk. We were on our way from Austin this morning, stopped here to get some coffee real quick. And then, yeah, just learned that it was canceled and not too happy about that. Back in Austin, the total eclipse was child's play. Austin ISD took the opportunity to turn the historic event into a science lesson for children at Riley Elementary School. Kids were able to watch the total eclipse together with their teachers, making it for a memorable teaching moment. I think it's better to be in school because you get to learn about it while seeing it. And I think it's a good, I think it's like good for education because you get to see it in person at school and you get to learn about it. Also in Austin, an event that promised to be as celestial as it was musical. The Empire weekend performed at the Moody Amphitheater while the moon made its way over the sun. Cheers from the crowd could be heard anytime the clouds parted ways, showing us a glimpse of the eclipse, even if it was just for a few seconds. I also felt overcome with some emotions as well. I know that I've been thinking about, you know, during the moment I was thinking about how grateful I am for where I'm at right now and all that the future holds and how wonderful it is to be in Austin, Texas right now and be able to experience this. So it was like a total eclipse of the heart. Thank you for watching. Please hit the subscribe button and get the latest news by downloading the CBS Austin News app.
