Track the eclipse with Google Maps traffic

Was checking the traffic after the eclipse. As expected, very heavy and slow traffic flowing away from the centerline of totality. I did a series of screen grabs of Google Maps showing the traffic. From the traffic, easy to recreate the path of the eclipse from SC all the way back to Oregon.

I'm in Knoxville at the moment. Was west of town for the eclipse. Very little traffic here for a while. Probably the Rapture.
