be where they can see it but here's I'll be on the fringe of totality.

I'm in the fringe area too, but 97% coverage is expected.
Totallity is expected at about 3:20 EDT to 3:25 EDT, roughly
the same time as for Elmira NY.
I don't specifically understand what sets this eclipse out from the rest? Why is the whole country shutting down things?
I don't really understand that either, but it's going to be a total
elipse in some areas, which is a rare thing. There are people traveling to see it in totality.

We looked at it with the kids. Boring as usual. :D
An event as rare as this is boring? :P

We were in the path of totality for today's eclipse. It
was cloudy but luckily there was a break in the clouds and
we got to see the ring from my own back yard.
The last total solar eclipse in my city was January 24,
1925. After today's eclipse the next one will be October
26, 2144.

Maybe I don't understand the severity of it, but I seen an eclipse in the early 90's...
At best, there was a sliver of a crescent at my location between
3:15 and 3:32 EDT. The sky was very cloudy but the eclipse was
visible from time to time. I have some pictures I should post.
I viewed it in conjunction with a pinhole viewer when the sun
poked through the clouds and it was simply not safe to look
directly at the event. The results were excellent. The whole
far end of the box projected a very large portion of the sky.
The moving clouds provided a greater sense of "real time" as
they passed over the sun.

All clouds here too..Cloud Layer wasn't an issue thankfully, though we did get scammed out of 20 USD for two glasses.
It's my second one actually. I was skipping class in high school in 1994 the last time we had a partial in this area. Same orange storm like n2> light. Dark enough for the lights to come on, but I couldn't see it.
Having Arkansas declare a state of emergency for a tourist event and
discouraging local tourism was, interesting to say the least -
especially since they were one of a couple of states in the path of
totality.
