You will be completely blind in both eyes by morning, as takes about 12 hours.
Do you have any nice cars to sell??

Near perfect conditions here at Hot Springs Village. Very light clouds. 3-1/2 minutes of totality. Shadow bands, diamond ring, solar flares.

three and a half minute vid from my place. My tower cam does not move any more upwards, so I took a land based view.

The cameras auto-exposure tried to keep it looking light outside.

Made a little shoebox viewer and took this in my driveway around 2:45 pm EST.

Pretty pleased with how it turned out. Obviously you should zoom in.

Nice looking place. I didn’t know that you had that kind of property.

Didn't break out the telescope this time as I worked 12 hours last night and got to bed around 8. Breaking out the scope you have to prepare in advance especially when taking pictures. Woke up at 2 to observe. We are in Northern Virginia so we only got about 90%.

Clouds opened up about 30 minute before totality here. We are towards the edge of the path so totality only lasted a little less that 2 1/2 minutes. But it was awesome.

Edit to add a second shot.
