Is anyone in the path? I saw the last one in 2017 from the top of Mt Si near Seattle.

Nope, and we will have an overcast anyway.
I've seen one before. No big deal.

99.98% totality at my address. Could go west about 5 miles for 100%. Cloudy right now, supposed to clear up some this afternoon. Have to wait and see.

No here too. I've been so busy with work, I never got any glasses, lol. I'm not in the great of a path anyway and they say it could be cloudy here. Hope it's not though. I know a lot of young kids are anxious to see it.

I’ve seen two 100% eclipses in my life. You seen one you’ve seen them all.

If I was at camp, I'd be in the middle of the "zone". My sister in law went up to camp with some of her family.
I'll be in a pretty good partial area today. Whooppee. Like Gene said, they are all the same after the first.

75% max here. I saw the beginning of the 2017, but got some cloud cover in before totality. I haven't bothered to get any viewing glasses for this one, although it's supposed to be sunny all day.

Not me, but my girlfriend is all jacked up about all the "energy" that'll be moving and shifting across the earth today. Gotta "call in" all the things we want to happen.

Okey dokey.
