What happens to werewolves when there's an eclipse?

According to Teen Wolf, they lose all their supernatural abilities for the duration of totality.

Happy to report what I thought was cloud cover was actually glare off streetlights, and I turned out to have a great view of the eclipse from the parking lot.

In commemoration of the moon-eating dragon, I am eating the dragon fruit I bought earlier this week.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We took Dylan up to the roof to have a look. Poor kid was barely conscious but hopefully he'll remember and think it was cool in the morning!

Blood moon visible from the driveway. Mosquitos are feasting.

I walked to the corner (one house down) where there was quite the crowd gathered. More came as we stood there. But mostly though it was clear it still looked like a weirdly-colored moon that was mostly covered by a cloud--wasn't sharp or distinct enough to go "ooh, eclipse!"

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

stayed out for awhile until it was mostly fully eclipsed. Cool.

Why can't the damn mosquitoes try to fly up to the moon and drink *that*?

If only, Matt!

Going from totality to partial, looks like. This is the part I like, in either direction, seeing the shadow move.

Clouds cleared so I could watch it to totality lying on my bedroom floor, talking to parents watching it from their driveway. And now I can see it exiting totality from my deck.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I wandered over to the Loyola campus hoping the clouds would clear. There were lots of students gathered on the lakeshore. At about :20 after a great cheer went up when the moon cleared the clouds. It was like the moon had scored a touchdown. We only had 15-20 minutes before the clouds rolled in again though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I didn't expect to see anything because (a) fog in San Francisco has blunked out every 4th of July except maybe three since I've been here and (b) the moon has to get fairly high in the sky to get above the skyline of buildings in our neighborhood.

But, I left the backdoor open just in case and was able to call Matilda out from her toothbrushing to grab her new birthday (old refurbished) iPad and take some pictures of the quite red and half-eclipsed moon over our neighborhood buildings.
