We weren't in the path of totality, but the solar eclipse was visible here in Phoenix just after 10 this morning. Did you catch a glimpse? The Board of Supervisors took a quick break from county business to check it out (with protective eyewear, of course). They were joined by the Recorder and Assessor.
