Is anyone within range of the eclipse looking forward to it? We here will get about 92% coverage at 2:07.

The school is giving students and staff glasses. We will all be going outside to view the eclipse. Should be fun.

Had a full one in 2017 down here. Interesting but it's a big build up for such a short show. I enjoyed it but I would not travel to see onother one. Put the glasses over your cell phone to take pictures. It worked for me.

I’m in the path of totality. Should get almost 100%. Hope it’s not cloudy!!! Most the schools are closed around here. We all have glasses.

Tight lines

In 2017 I watched and photographed that one by the reflection in a bucket of water with dark sunglasses. We only got 40% then here in east central Alabama. This one is supposed to be about 80% here. Peaking at 3 PM eastern standard time.
My bucket of water is ready.

We r in the middle of its path. Suppose to be a total coverage. Might not get to see it
There are 10’s of thousands people here to view it. No motel rooms, people r renting out their boathouse to view it.
Hope the clouds break
Yall have a great Eclipse day
