A violent attack happens on eclipse day

Shouldn't this be no?

@noney I believe there was an attack, there's a reply somewhere here that links to it.

Resolved those last two, to the best of my knowledge there's no evidence of a reported mistakenly calling it a "lunar" eclipse and there were no articles about there people missing the eclipse due to traffic before the cut-off time. Willing to re-resolve if evidence is brought forth!

I can still find zero news articles about a specific person who had their eyes damaged due to the Apr 8 eclipse.

@chris I feel like it should be resolved "no" since by April 9th there hasn't been such an article, bu I'd like for whoever submitted that particular one to weigh in first.

@Reddit that's my take as well

@chris I submitted it

Resolved Spotify U.S. chart questions, ”Total Eclipse of the Heart” hit #36 in the US

Resolved the question about Congress tweeting to ‘YES‘ by going one-by-one alphabetically. I don't have time to finish my spreadsheet, but out of 61 senators, 25 tweeted about it, which is enough to resolve this market.

It will be at least mostly sunny in Burlington, VT during the eclipse

why did this resolve N/A? I was in Burlington and can confirm it was "at least mostly sunny", and have contemporaneous reports to verify: https://www.reddit.com/r/burlington/comments/1bz9z2x/regardless_of_eclipse_it_was_a_1010_day_in_btv/

@pyrylium I was also in the area! This was definitely a yes, I'm not sure who resolved it but I would like to know their reasoning as well. I think this model was very accurate WRT the clouds yesterday, but there are a lot of overzealous models floating around. https://twitter.com/Eweather13/status/1775947892236202153

@Reddit Oh I can re-resolve, my mistake. I saw some contradictory reports but I think it is indeed a yes.

CNN, Fox News, and March Madness Championship will mention the eclipse on live TV

This happened with around 7:41 left in the second half of the NCAA final, if I remember correctly.

There will be a news story about animals behaving strangely
Ground News aggregates a news story page with at least 3 sources about an injury or a fight breaking out at Niagara Falls on April 8th.

@Reddit This can be resolved NO. If a story doesn't exist by now, I doubt it ever will.

There will be a news story about someone whose vision was permanently damaged by looking at the eclipse

I can't find any article about someone specifically having this happen to them.

I have also read that the damage appears the next day. It's quite possible we won't have an April 8 article about this so this will probably resolve NO

“Total Eclipse of the Heart” will be in the top 50 streamed songs on Spotify in the U.S. on 4/8/24

Spotify's USA Top chart has it at 36 today, but idk if that's enough to resolve

Good lawd the traffic today on the return journey was terrible. A 2.5 hour projected return journey turned into a 9 hour one.

Mods, please feel free to help with resolutions, I would greatly appreciate any help ❤️
