We’re only going to get about 20% coverage at 11:30 during the eclipse, it should be like clouds moving in to momentarily cover the sun, won’t be much difference.

I went to the panhandle of Neb. in 2017 to witness the eclipse.

When we got to near the center of the path at an intersection of a very rural dirt road [that’s how we got there] with US 20, there were only 2 other vehicles with observers.

The best part was listening to the complaints of the cattle just across US 20.

It looks like I’ll get around 85% coverage here, but I doubt there’ll be anything to see. They forecast chances for rain next Monday.

I did get to see the total eclipse in ‘17 though. Watched from my brother’s back yard which was dead-center of the path. Gorgeous, clear day for it too.

After that, watching a partial eclipse will never be as fun. Total is an amazing experience.
