Ping!.....................
Houston gets not one but TWO rare Solar eclipses in a 6 months period? Amazing.
The 4/8 total was already on my calendar. Have relatives in KY, will stay there and drive to Indiana to view. Will not miss this. Saw the last one in Sweetwater, TN and loved it! A magical time.
Not Houston. More like Kerrville…. Though Austin and San Antonio would be pretty good viewing spots too.
The Annular Eclipse goes thru 4 Corners. You can watch that one from 4 states by at the same time.l!

I fulfilled an item on my bucket list watching the last US eclipse in Geneva, NE. An unforgettable experience. I’m thinking maybe one more in 2024.
I’m hoping to travel to Southern Illinois for the eclipse next year.
I would like to see at least one in my lifetime. 🔭

It is definitely worth the effort. I saw one a few years ago and was dumfounded at the beauty and grand change in the sky. Don’t miss it, get to it if you can. It is a most awe-inspiring experience.
If you are given an emma, it’s best to request it there.
Thanks. I’m planning on it…
There’s no map for the total eclipse of my heart. So lost....*sigh*
San Antonio does, not Houston. We’re about 186 miles east of SATX.
Make sure you have an escape route figured out and take it early enough. We were on the farm in Nebraska almost in the middle of the path of totality. It clouded over and by the time we figured out that we should have jumped in the car and drive a couple miles down the road it was too late. A friend who went to Carbondale, Il had the same thing happen.
Thanks for the tip!
The Uvalde County area will be in the path of two eclipses: an annual eclipse on Saturday, October 14th, 2023 and a total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th, 2024.
While both eclipses are likely to draw tourists to Uvalde County and the Texas Hill Country, the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse is expected to draw tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Total Solar Eclipse tourists from across the United States and around the world. Both Uvalde and Concan are situated in totality’s path which is the ideal place for viewing this rare celestial event.
It will be a very big deal in Uvalde. But it’s not like they haven’t been on the national news radar before.
The map looks like the confederate flag.
