FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Where were you when the sun blinked at 2:28 p.m.?
Many Icon viewers were wearing funny dark glasses and staring into space. Those who did have a story to tell their grandchildren. Ada and Bluffton were at 85 percent coverage of the great solar eclipse of 2017.
While not like a total eclipse, it was a very noticible afternoon.
The Ada Icon seeks viewers who live in the path of the Aug. 21 solar eclipse - or area viewers who traveled to see the eclipse at its full view.
