Too bad the path of totality won't be over South Florida because right now there is NOT a cloud in the sky. BTW, in the year 2045 Fort Lauderdale will be in the path of totality at the greatest extent of the ECLIPSE. It will last 6m 46s. I hope I am around to see it.
Get a clock widget for your cell phone to tell you the time down to the second so you know when it is SAFE to watch the TOTAL eclipse with naked eye.

12 to 14 welding filter is suitable. I’ve got a 5 in my mask and a 9 in the flip up. Total 14. Going to 5 to walk around and add the 9 for viewing.

Thanks.
I’ll ask him what numbers his masks are.

That’s scary that you said that.
We went out for a ride yesterday and I stopped at Lowes on the way home.
Big sign on the door “Eclipse glasses and welding goggles all sold out”.
Himself only has the full masks.
I hate to think that Lowes sold people inadequate goggles, knowingly.

Nowhere near it.
I’m wondering how many people will record it with their phones and what *that* will do the phone and/or their eyes.

It was bright and clear her on the Jersey Shore until about an hour ago. Now 70-80% cloud cover.

I looked through some glasses, it was neat and the sky got a funny shade to it but it didn’t get totally dark I was in 97% coverage area. I have seen cloudy days where it was darker, yet the sky did have a different hue to it all around.

Hubby finally got around to putting the extra glass in the welding mask.
Hopefully I will not be blind tomorrow.
[the extra was a “9” plus whatever was already in the helmet]

He added a 9 to whatever was in the mask.
Hopefully I will not be training the dogs for seeing eye, tomorrow.

I think you’re near me; it’s not that spectacular, but the light really gets strange and lovely.
I actually prefer lunar eclipses - you can comfortably watch the whole thing. Next one is January, 2019.

I went out and noticed the odd lighting and then these nifty little crescents everywhere.
[I call this "Partial Eclipse, With Podengo"].
:D

That little one is almost camouflaged——a little bit of white here,a little bit of white there————.

...”the sky did have a different hue to it all around”...
Here even the air felt very different....am glad I was in that moment. Words like eerie, strange, odd, and the like has been defined by many.

Cute doggie.
We saw the crescents, too; oak trees seem to make good ones.

Pics like that are popping up all over FB.
Every different type of tree foliage seems to produce unique patterns.
Way cool!

That is Gypsy, my Portuguese Podengo Medio rescue.
She’s a little Velociraptor at heart so camo suits her.

A friend in Florida posted one through palm tree fronds.
It was *art*.
