Are any of you lucky humans going to be viewing in a totality zone?
Only 62% coverage here in AZ.

I do remember the eclipse of '91 here. It was pretty dramatic. It was in July and the temps were in the typical 110's and the temp drop was INCREDIBLE.
 
I'm gonna bust out with the telescope if the cloud cover will get outta here.
 
It's about to start here and it's raining hard as hell. I'm glad I didn't bother getting those glasses now.
 
Kind of bizarre here, not sure the coverage but it's very strange sky. It's like you're inside a building with fluorescent lights that are dying, it's like half sun.

85% here in Cumberland, MD. Heavy thunderstorms predicted as well. This should get interesting.
85% is significant. We're at peak here now. 62%
Meh....it's still hot and sunny side up with a side of slightly weird light. That '91 eclipse blew this one away.

We live in the 100% range I'm being told by my co workers. I wasn't too into this idea, but man, I'm glad I looked. Very cool.

Also, the crows around my house went completely nuts. And when the moon covered the sun, there was nothing but silence. Freaky, but very cool.
 
I always loved the book, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"

But yeah, was pretty cool. All though a bit under whelming for all the hype.
 
I wish the eclipse would happen at night. That way there could be really fun parties to celebrate it.
