From Daylight to Totality and Back by drone- 360 degree view. Dallas 4/8/24 and some weird lines!

the drone flies 390 feet above Dallas as the totality shadow moves over Dallas. I rotate the drone 360 degrees as the city lights come on and the distant sky is still lit.
Then, after totality some very weird wavy shadow lines appear- anyone know what they are? Cloud caused?
It was pretty cool to see the city lights and traffic ligh up during totality.

    The lines were weird! A friend- and engineer- was in Totality in Indiana and they didn't see the wavy lines. I'm Thinking they were caused by the clouds. some sort of refraction. Yeah Shadow Bands seem to be a thing. Someone sent a link with a good explanation.

    @@TheWestisBig Went back and watched the video again. Now I see the wavy lines. That's pretty cool. We were on our back lawn so didn't have any concrete surfaces.

    thanks for commenting and subscribing. It's a shot I've thought of for a long time- I wish there were fewer clouds though. would have been cool to see the shadow racing in.
