I lost an SD card with a lot of images and videos on it for the total
eclipse. We were observing the total eclipse in Central, SC. They were
cutting the grass at the time with a lawn tractor and after the eclipse, I
think they obliterated the SD card. Fortunately my family was taken many
images and videos with their cell phones and I was able to download them and put together this video on YouTube:

The video is over 41 minutes long and should fast forward for the first videos as it is like watching paint dry. The first video begins much later than totality as the Moon was exiting the Sun, the video ends at 4:30 pm. Thanks to my family members that helped me out looking for the lost SD card in my vehicle and in my camera bags. My son Jerry and grandson Nicky was able to capture the shadow bands (snakes).
