Eclipse viewing

[Wulf202]

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.

[Wulf202]

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.

[Ah Pook]

I will be sitting in my back yard. No crowds. No traffic probably weak eclipse.

[BPTactical]

I will be enjoying it from work

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.

I'm not going to chase it, but if I can see it from the driveway, I'll check it out.
