I’m ready to drive from Florida to Arkansas but the way current weather forecast stands, looks I’ll be staying put and have to be satisfied with 53% coverage.

Pity it isn't the same date in May, I'd like to have seen it whilst in Mexico (if in fact that would have been possible).

Best way to see the eclipse is on the Internets Tubes.

Any time something cool is going to happen, I can set my clock to Iowa having a solid overcast.

"Did you see the meteor shower?"

"No, I got soaked."

I'm REALLY close to the center of the travel line.
Got our "Don't go Blind" eye wear ready.
If I got to go Blind, I have a more enjoyable way to do that.

....the weather forcast this AM is that much of the total dark path viewing will be botched by rainy weather. Given the eclipse of Mons in 1914, and the mid-battle eclipse at Isandlwana on 1/22/1879, these things tend to portend disaster...

One county in Texas has already foreseen the doom to occur 8 April and issued a declaration of impending disaster.

Be prepared! Doom I say, DOOM!

Doomsday you say

I who thought it was the moon who would place itself in front of the sun for a while during daytime April 8th and not the Sun in front of the moon.
