boyst Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Cars are packing the Interstates here in NC I'll be watching from atop The warehouse at work. Where will y'all be?
Just Jack Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 I haven't decided if I'll take my chances here at home seeing it through the trees or go to a park where I know it'll be more open for viewing.
LeviF Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 It'll get slightly darker in my office. Good enough for me.
shrader Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 My work is having a big event in this courtyard out front. I can never turn down something like this when it is happening during work hours on their dime. And yeah, my commute was much slower this morning. You could tell that it was the people not used to being on the highway at that hour. All of the congestion was at every single on ramp merge. They really have no idea how to do that out here.
The Poojer Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 i'm gonna head over to valley forge and set up a lawn chair and stare directly into the eclipse
boyst Posted August 21, 2017 Author Posted August 21, 2017 Evidently welding helmets are not strong enough as it needs to be shade 14 or darker. Mine is 13 and seems dark enoigh
Seasons1992 Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 I will be on the roof of our factory. I don't have glasses but will want to be outside for it.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Can anyone tell me what is so great about this? I mean, does it just get darker outside for a little bit? Sweet. Looks like it's not going to be very impressive here in VT.
CookieG Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 about 40 miles outside the totality zone (in Kansas)...we're leaving in a bit...just heading north and will find a place to park...when we get there.
Andrew Son Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 It'll get slightly darker in my office. Good enough for me. You have a window? Fancy
LeviF Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 You have a window? Fancy Yeah you should hear some of the guys across the hall B word about it
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 At work... Busy with boats... Hopefully, not too cloudy. Can anyone tell me what is so great about this? I mean, does it just get darker outside for a little bit? Sweet. Looks like it's not going to be very impressive here in VT. Totality is where it is at. Diamond ring, Bailey's Beads... Oooo pretty! Nature's Supply and demand... Doesn't happen all that much where you can see it. If Mutha Nature caused it more often, it would be uneventful.
