The sky turned dark and the Heavens opened up.
The rain was heavy as a curtain with a few drops being so huge that they stood out in a crowd.

Because I didn't think to photograph the down pour that followed 2017 eclipse totality, I have added this older image of a similar scene at the same place. However, the lighting was brighter in this photo than it was on eclipse day. Still, thanks to Mother Nature, this was what we saw instead of the moon moving away from the sun.

By 1:30PM (while the moon was still moving away from the sun), there was severe flash flooding requiring an emergency water rescue less than a mile from our house.

The end of my tale.
