And unlike some areas of Texas that missed good views, even in the path of totality, this part of Central Texas had the clouds part just frequently enough to enjoy a full view of this historical event.

“It worked out wonderful. The cloud cover was supposed to be 80, 90-percent all day. It seemed to part just at the right time for everyone to see the totality,” said Doug Cochran, superintendent at the park. “It was a really great experience.”

The moment of darkness occurred at 1:31 PM and sunlight returned quickly after.
