Eclipse travel

[jfkheat]

I am in the path of 100% coverage. Motels in the area are almost all full. I just checked hotels.com. The only motel that shows a vacancy is Holiday Inn Express at $999 per night. Eclipse glasses have been sold out at most places for a week or more. My local Chamber of Commerce had sponsored a car show today and handed out the glasses. There were 40 to 50 people in line for the glasses before the show started. I'm not sure how many pair they had but it didn't take long before they ran out.

between the heavy clouds and my USPS pin hole box...the eclipse viewing was less than stellar today in st paul, mn!!!!!!!

It's about 70% here in L.A. I think, but I'm too busy working so I created an eclipse in photoshop and saved my eyesight.

Heard a guy on the radio speculating about how many people are risking their eyesight today with cheap glasses bought at a convenience store or on the Internet

2:42 p.m. today from the top of my building, AMTRAK HQ, six blocks north of the Capital in Washington, D.C. Helped a co-worker take this with her phone. Me holding the glasses at an acute angle over her phone lens. This was totality for our area, roughly 82.4%, just as clouds passed in front of it which probably helped.
