I'm very tempted to go down to Tennessee or South Carolina.But weather/cloud cover is obviously an issue.Unless I'm mistaken afternoon thunderstorms are pretty common down there in August.

Yes, anywhere within 30 miles of the ocean or Gulf of Mexico can have pop-up thunderstorms in the afternoon..............

Looks like the path is going right over Columbia, South Carolina. Perhaps this calls for a road trip.

I remember reading about this when I moved to Asheville, NC in 2009 and thinking wow that’s a long way off, yet here we are...

Will be making the drive to Greenville

Depends on where you are in the path.

Back in the ‘60’s had a solar eclipse that was to be prime in East Tennessee...Scientists and meteorologists came from all over the country and set up to view around Knoxville....About two hours before it was to happen, it clouded up and we had one h*ll of a rainstorm...

They were all scrambling to get all their stuff moved...It was hilarious...

Of course some of us know that it’s not *really* a spheroid moon passing
in front of a spheroid sun as we observe it from our spheroid Earth.

Its just one of the elephants on the turtle’s back taking a short break.

I was going to go to Oregon to watch it but the only place where motels and hotels are available around the coast where you are not guaranteed a clear day, actually very likely have clouds.

I’m close enough I may just drive down for the day watch it and drive back in Central Oregon

Clouds don’t prevent darkness.

Kool. I was in Palm Springs, CA in the 90’s when there was a total eclipse. We were at the community/condo pool and it started getting “dark”. A neighbor had no idea what was happening, so we told her. It dropped 20 degrees during it. Probably from 108 to 88.... It was a once in a lifetime thing to see.
