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.
