Learned that lesson the hard way.

Charlotte got a bit dark, Columbia got totally dark.

Too lazy for 2 hour drive for event of a life time (probably)

Our original plan was to go to Charleston to watch it on a boat, but then the weather was going to be shit for Charleston and I changed to north Georgia mountains. All the people we were going to see in Charleston were unimpressed by the eclipse behind 100% cloud cover.

That’s why for this next eclipse I’m reluctant to make big plans. Plane tickets, house rental, etc. what if there is a storm that day?

We were staying in Charleston. Drove 39 miles towards Columbus that day to get clear skies. Pro-tip - big lakes pull humidity out of the skies during the day and tend to have clearer skies
