If anyone is into this sort if thing my place east of Dallas is in the 100% zone. I'm not much of a host but if you want to park someplace friendly, I can offer that much.

That's a gracious offer. My son and I are going to my niece's in Fate, so we will be nearby.
I have plans for Idabel OK. But would appreciate a backup.
Pm me. I'll give you my cell.
4minutes totality at my place
Driving to Ennis TX and taking a flight for work out of DFW.
Based on a few longer term forecasts, it looks like remnants of a front s clouding the majority of the path of totality in the US except close to the US Mexico border.
I will be sitting in my back yard. No crowds. No traffic probably weak eclipse. [Coffee]
I will be enjoying it from work[gohome]
10 day forecast for Texas on Monday, April 8th: Thunderstorms. Bummer.
For those of you that are satisfied with a say, 95% eclipse, I'll pass on a sports analogy (and typically I really hate sports analogies) that I heard an astronomer say about the 2017 eclipse:
The difference between being in the path of totality and a partial eclipse is about the same as sitting on the 50 yard line at the Superbowl versus listening to the game on radio out in the parking lot. :)
In other words you may be close distance wise, but the experience is worlds apart.

I mean, they're probably not wrong. Texas is rather large so somewhere there will likely be thunderstorms.Quote:
