Millions of Americans greeted the solar eclipse Monday as it passed over the country from Texas to Maine.
Eagle Pass, Texas was the first American city to witness the rare event as it began its journey across the country.
More than 30 million Americans were in the path of the eclipse as it cut through 15 states and major cities including Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Niagara Falls.
In Cleveland, CBN’s David Brody recorded the moments when the moon passed in front of the sun.
“We’re just in total darkness here, full totality and there’s the total eclipse and you can barely see me because we’re in the middle actually of full totality,” Brody reported.
CBN correspondent Paul Petitte was on the ground in Ozark, Arkansas.
“Arkansas was the second state the eclipse passed over going through Texas and going over both Dallas, Austin, and Fort Worth,” he reported.
Officials estimate more than half a million out-of-state visitors flocked to Arkansas for the eclipse.
