Cool Nashville is in the path!!!

[Mr. Douglas]

I’m in South Central Kentucky. I quick drive to the area around Bowling Green will work.

[Bob434]

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.

[LiveFree99]

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

[Tea Party Terrorist]

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

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.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

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

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.

[DouglasKC]

I feel so blessed...am moving to Paducah Kentucky in a month or two and guess what...yup...right in the path!

[Telepathic Intruder]

The center of the eclipse will be right over where I live at 10:15 AM. It’s usually not cloudy in August here, but you never know. Damn shame if it is. I already missed one total solar eclipse because of clouds.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Already have tickets and reservations to Boise and plan to drive north into the totality zone. Just ordered solar filters for the binocs.

[Organic Panic]

I’ll be on my sail boat at an undisclosed lake, with thousands of firearms at the bottom, right in the path. Should be fun.

[AppyPappy]

There was an eclipse in the early 80’s. I remember it got dark enough for the street lights to come on. Dogs were freaking out.

"How energy is injected into the corona is one of the things we'll be investigating," Pasachoff told Space.com.

Silly scientist -- You inject the energy into the lime, then you insert the lime into the Corona. What are they teaching in colleges nowadays? That's basic Beer Drinking 101 material.

[Rebelbase]

A 20 minute ride to totality from here.

[montag813]

The fact that total solar eclipses occur at all is a quirk of cosmic geometry. The moon orbits an average of 239,000 miles (384,600 kilometers) from Earth — just the right distance to seem the same size in the sky as the much-larger sun.

God is in the details.
