Folks who saw the last one talk about it like it was the rapture or something.

I'm looking at you, Burlington, VT………..

See what the solar eclipse will look like in your city

Very good interactive page at WaPo. DC's gonna get 87%, enough to notice it getting dark without looking.

That's really cool.  I didn't realize we'd get so much coverage here.

meaningless and not worth your time unless it's 100%
feel free to look through a pinhole or get special glasses

if you are not in the path of totality, it might as well be just another day

Anybody got any brilliant ideas for escaping the clouds? Looking like Cleveland and Erie are a bust.

Will totally work great and will work in DC where it isn’t close to the path

similar effect: walking through a leafy forest.  i was in hungary in 1999 for an eclipse and after the main event (2:22 of darkness), we were walking back to our tents and the path went through a wooded area.  every little spot where the sun managed to get through the leaves was a crescent on the ground… t'was trippy.
