Crowds gathered across the U.S. for today’s total solar eclipse, with viewing sites set up across the path of totality—including one along Niagara Falls State Park, a special “eclipse flight” traveling through the eclipse’s path, and a mass wedding that took place in Russellville, Ark. just minutes before totality.
The eclipse passed through 15 states, entering the U.S. in Texas and exiting in Maine, and passing through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and parts of Tennessee and Michigan. Millions of people were expected to watch the event, which is the last time a total solar eclipse will be visible in the contiguous United States until 2044.
Here are photos of the eclipse—and some of its millions of viewers—from across the U.S.
Forceful Hurricane Beryl is now expected to bring life-threatening winds and storm surge to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands this week, continuing its westward trek in the Caribbean Sea and heading towards the Gulf of Mexico
ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada (AP) — Hurricane Beryl roared through open waters Tuesday as a powerful Category 4 storm heading toward Jamaica after earlier crossing islands in the southeast Caribbean, killing at least six people.

Hurricane Beryl strengthened on Monday into a "potentially catastrophic" category 5 storm as it moved across the eastern Caribbean, putting Jamaica near its path after downing power lines and flooding streets elsewhere.Beryl brings an unusually fierce and early start to this year's Atlantic hurricane season, with scientists saying climate change probably contributed to the rapid pace of its formation as global warming has boosted North Atlantic temperatures.
