Kerrville, Tx - friend has property there. I still think about my last solar eclipse pretty much daily.

It would be really neat to pull the moon through it's trajectory across north America, with real time readouts of average by geographic location using cloud coverage data over the past 10-20 years.
Or does a tool like this already exist?

The center line of totality goes right through our property. I'm putting up 20 port-a-potties and charging people $500 to camp out for two nights. BYOB, but you have to share with me!

Well, it told me it was a sweet red round berry, but it turned out to be a tomato!

Yeah. 99% eclipse is a lot closer to 0% than 100%

I'm just east of one of the major cities in the path of totality that looks like it is further in the path than that city. Last time the kids were disappointed that it wasn't a total eclipse where we were and couldn't travel at that time to get closer. It was still awesome, it got about 10 degrees colder for about 20 minutes and the leaves from the trees filtered what little sunlight that shone through on to the ground into little crescent shapes of the eclipse that you could watch in real-time like some kind of pinhole camera, crickets started chirping and dogs were going apeshit. I could see some how some primitive cultures would believe that it was a sign of significance, religious or otherwise cus it was trippy.

The one we all got in the States a few years ago was the first one I've experienced where we got the weird shadows. I made sure to save all our viewing glasses in a safe place. We (again) are not in the path of totality, but we'll get enough for the cool effects. I'm so excited for my family. Our youngest was just barely five last time, next time she'll be 9. Hopefully we'll all have lifetime memories of it.

I'm sure it will be busy but I know that area like the back of my hand. I'll find something remote enough that people won't be willing to go to.

We planning on traveling from DC to an area of totality.

Where will I be? At my sister's in Batavia, NY - halfway between Buffalo and Rochester, and about 18 inches from the center of the total eclipse path.
OK - maybe a bit more than 18 inches... but right smack dab near the middle! Already sent her a package of 25 eclipse glasses for the event.

Yeah, more likely than not, I'll just drive down to Ohio, but if the weather cooperates, it'd be cool to see it from the lake.

I have made eight refundable hotel reservations from Texas to Maine. Will make the final call a few days prior and start canceling those reservations as needed. Flexible road trip!

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

We're in Atlanta, my son got stuck in traffic and did the 99% thing. We'd gone to Charleston, chased clear skies an hour away and were just blown away. He saw our pictures and video and heard us talking about it and realized he'd fucked up

If you need reservations for that spot, make them now. We’ll be going to Hot Springs and made our camping reservations a few months ago and got one of the last spots. The lady said they were filling up so fast.

Flying me and my kids in to Hot Springs Arkansas! We went to the last eclipse up in Lawrence, Ks in 2016. It was truly one of the most awe inspiring moments of my life. The hush of the world around us, everything silent and seeing sunlight on the edge of the horizon but being in darkness. It was magic.

I'm from the UK. We went to Florida for two weeks and drove for 10 hours to Tennessee to see it.

I wonder if the same people who have been denying science for the last three years will believe science this time?
