Interesting, if you have time try the link:

Who's ready to watch this rare event?

Bf and I will take our dogs out to a park and picnic there to watch the event. The park is out in the middle of no where and on a week day nobody ever goes there.

Central Indiana.
 
You're smack in the path of totality!

I will be in Nashville Monday. Not only is it outside totality - it's supposed to rain.
 
I'm going with friends to somewhere in southern Illinois. The 2017 eclipse was awesome, but this one is supposed to be even more impressive! Hope the weather cooperates.

My partner and I traveled to Salem, Oregon for the 2017 eclipse. It was truly and singularly awe inspiring. and deeply moving. We had airline and hotel reservations to be in Dallas for eclipse this coming Monday, but due to the predictions of cloudy skies or even storms over Texas, we have changed our plans and are going to Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, where the eclipse will be only about 90%, but the skies will be clear.
 
They’re acting like it’s going to be Armageddon here. Schools are closed, they’re telling people to stock up on food and water, and to stay off the roads.

That's only because they are expecting a lot of tourists to be on the roads.

Schools closing because it's an educational, once-in-a-lifetime event and the roads will be packed. That makes sense.
I don't know what stocking up on food and water has to do with it, though. Except for maybe if you're one of those on the packed roads.
But the far right lunatics are losing their mind over the eclipse with "signs from God that evil is destroying America" and "end of the world" nonsense.
 
/\ Well, you have to use the roads to go to the store.:)

They are suggesting that locals do their shopping ahead of time.

The school closings are because of students walking home, and school busses. For many locations, I believe, the main event is right around the same time schools would normally be letting out.
 
There is a big front moving across next week. Wonder if it will affect the viewing.

Tell them, "Until you sacrifice Donald Trump, things will only get worse. Turn, or burn with him."

Alabama version, substitute Tommy Tuberville.

(fingers crossed)
 
It's roughly around 1:30 to 2:05 pm in Central Time Zone as the moon's shadow moves up from Texas across Illinois. Then it shifts to Eastern Time and roughly 3:05 to about 3:20 pm as it moves into Canada.

/\ Cool.

So, it could be sort of a vampire's version of hiking the Appalachian trail?
 
We were just talking about it at work. Someone said they’re closing all the cemeteries for the day. I guess they’re afraid of zombies 😂

That’s what I heard. Schools are afraid the dumb kids will stare at the sun and go blind. Better to have the kids at home so they’re the parents responsibility.

I must be too old. I remember a partial solar eclipse when I was a kid. We were warned not to look at the sun. It was all over the news. We talked about it in school. We got a big long box and made a small square cut-out at one end that we covered with foil and put a pinhole in it. It projected safely an image of the sun onto a piece of paper we put at the other end of the box. We found a box big enough to fit our head inside. It was really cool. Nevertheless, the message was loud and clear, "Do not look directly at the sun!".

I guess teaching kids not to burn their eyes out is too "woke" for today. Or too much liability if they're dumb enough to do it anyway. It is probably the liability.

Just to note, if you're in the path of totality, you can look at the sun with the naked eye, but only during the complete coverage total phase when the sun is completely obscured by the moon. It's one of the most awe-inspiring things you will ever see. What you see on TV or in pictures does not come anywhere close.
 
We actually will be over near Toronto in the morning but should be safely back at home by the time the eclipse is scheduled to occur here.

As I said before, been there, done that...it really isn't that much of a big deal.

I remember as a child being far more rivetted by a lunar eclipse around easter that you could just stand and watch and as a child, marvel at.
 
And what happened to EddMarkStarr's posts in the thread? He actually started it. Maybe I'm thinkinig of the Moon thread.
 
I was at a tenant's apt earlier today. Asked her if she was gonna watch the eclipse. She said NO she's afraid something awful will happen. Apparently, she's gonna lock her son and herself in the apartment and pray while the eclipse happens.

I didn't say anything else. Anyone here know what superstitious people are afraid might happen during the eclipse?
