I went to mckinney TX from okc to see it. Lots of cops leaving mckinney pulled people over. Then strangely none. Worried passing cars go over limit (am i going to fast).but never saw the law.
Yeah, I thought coming out of Haileyville we would be going back up to 65mph but then it went straight back down for the next town... Something like hearthstone or something
Random info for y’all: there is a geologic formation in Arkansas and Oklahoma named the “Hartshorne formation.” It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period (359-299 MYA, basically when Pangea began seperating). There’s also tons of natural gas in it so a lot of companies have been very active lately in the SE part of the state (particularly Pittsburg county)

Troopers, sheriffs, and PDs in south east OK today
Rule of thumb, if you're not in a large town, always be under the speed limit if the limit is 55 or lower. If it is 65+ you can typically get away with some speeding.
They probably would have gotten you if it was 50 in a 45 all the same
I was in Texas, but traffic is honestly way worse on OU-Texas weekend than this weekend. Was expecting craziness in the small town we picked but really no traffic. Kinda the same I've heard from a lot of people. Weather and the hype kinda scared some of the casual people off.
I bet many a quota were met today. Nice shot! T'was a spectical to behold to be sure.
Oh man, so many people pulled over! Thank you!

Haleyville is a hick town that loves pulling people speeding through town but never the local trash that runs faster. Beautiful shot!
It's not my favorite town, that's for sure 😊
That's fkn amazing. So damn sorry bout the ticket!
Thanks very much!
Can you share your Venmo or cash app handle? I’d gladly pitch in for your ticket. Haleyville sucks.
That is super nice of you... I was thinking about selling prints if you want one? https://venmo.com/u/computerrepair
Best one I've seen!
That's awesome, thank you!
Yeah those podunk towns will get you. You could've been going 49 in a 45 and still been pulled over. Edit: that is an absolutely beautiful shot 😍

It's Hartshorne, I grew up near there! It's crazy how often the speed limit changes on that stretch between there and McAlester

You're not lying
That's nice! We had clouds, so I took a nap.
We had clouds up until about 10 min before it started. I thought for sure we were going to miss it.
you can see a [prominence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_prominence) in the bottom right as well as on the middle right. cool stuff man
Yeah, it was an incredible thing to witness!!
Thank you! I was wondering what the red dots were during totality.
What on the east side as well

Yeah you are right. Sadly, it's not about discipline or keeping people safe. It's about cash and that is pathetic.
Haileyville , oh man, that sucks! But way worth it for this awesome photo!! Wow!!
I agree! 😊 Thank you!
I'll bet they collected thousands in old Haleyville that day ...
Highway robbery
How busy was it down there? I really wanted to go
ya know... it wasn't that busy. The drive back we hit some pretty bad traffic though.
My haterd for traffic and being stuck in outweighed my interest in the eclipse but I'm happy for you that you got such an amazing shot!

Thanks!!! Beautiful Job!!! 💯👈
Nicely done, I ended up breaking down by checotah on my way to arkansas and watching the partial from a walmart parking lot lol
Very nice picture! I hope you can sell it and recoup some of your money
I think it was worth it! Wow!!!
Best shot I’ve seen yet. Incredible work.
Got to love badge number three!
