I live in Piedmont NC and we will have a 90% eclipse today. I have my glasses ready. Anyone else in the viewing path? I may head a little more south to get close to 100%.

Guess I'll just look at it online later tonight somewhere.

Where are you located Bob? Central Illinois. Total eclipse is a couple hundred miles to the south. Local time for it is 1:18 PM. I'll be outside for a few minutes and then on my way to work right afterwards. |

Nashville, TN. 100%. One of the total, one of the moment the sun came back.   |

91% in Dayton, but the overcast weather made it seem around 0%. Peak was at 2:28 local time.

Was listening to the radio - apparently for a substantial sum of money, you could buy a ticket on a cruise ship that sailed in the path of totality. The kicker? Bonnie Tyler singing a "special" 2m 40secs version of Total Eclipse of the Heart while it was happening.
You'd have to pay me a substantial sum to endure that tbh...
Great pics Irving.

I do remember the total eclipse we had here in Austria/Europe in August 1999 like it was yesterday. Damn... that spectacle of nature definitely made a lasting impression on me. Loved that apocalyptic mood out there when the sun was (totally) gone. So have fun with it!  |

Can't wait for 2024: that one's path is less than 50 miles from my house, and it's a mere 3 days before my birthday.

I'm waiting for April 2020 when the full eclipse will be about an hours drive from me.  |
