[time-nuts] Re: Power grid logging during the eclipse?

[Matha Goram]

My amateur time-lapse montage at 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruWELrNP69k with NOAA GOES-East data 
clearly shows that the "/night lights/" did not turn on during Totality 
(/at the viewing resolution/ that I selected) that lasted just under 3.5 
mins in my area.

Regards.
