Going to give a warning to anyone wanting to travel to any parks as I am currently in Hot Springs Arkansas National Park right now and they are so over crowded that they are shutting down roads and advising locals to stock up on food and automobile gas.
Over 250,000 people are expected to descend onto this small park this weekend so sleeping in cars on side of the road/parking lot is most likely outcome of traveling to a park on the eclipse path and food places locally being overbooked and traffic jams/no parking spots available.

Here in central Texas all the small towns have been warned for months. And for those locusts descending on those small towns please obey the posted signs. Remember not everyone will allow you on their property.

I'm right in the path to get a great view of it and bought some viewing glasses for it. The forecast is partly sunny or partly cloudy depending on if your a glad half full or half empty type of person. Hopefully luck will be on my side and the clouds will cooperate. :new_moon:

It will be on in my area on some tv channels.
Channels has been advertising this for days.
All those who are not interested in traveling for
this Event in traffic and crowds can watch
in the comfort of their homes.

We're any of you lucky enough to see the eclipse?

Did you manage to get any photos?

I'm gonna try and see if they show it on the news later, after I get home :house_with_garden: from the dungeons...

Here it's only 69% of an eclipse, but won't see it because of heavy cloud cover.

Drove 160 miles one way to see it. It was pretty cool but wouldn't go that far again to see another, but no chance of that anyway.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. It will be only a partial one with 30-40% of the sun obscured. The total one not coming until 2090.
