The (clickable) panel below shows the details of the eclipse as expected here in our RV campground located near Waco, TX. I cropped the image from a screenshot taken from the Time and Date website.
The right side of the panel shows our approximate location in the RV park (green area), The left side of the panel shows times for events associated with this eclipse. It also shows the expected weather of overcast with scattered thundershowers. That’s sub-optimal for eclipse viewing, of course, but we’re optimistic that we will see some of the spectacle, regardless.
At a minimum, the daylight will diminish to darkness if overcast, and I may be able to take a video the lunar shadow as it approaches our site at 1500 miles per hour. Likewise, four minutes later, I may be able to take a video of the shadow’s departure.
We just learned that there is a tornado watch for this area after the eclipse. We probably could use some prayerful help with that. Stay tuned.
Good to hear you’re there safe and sound.
I don’t expect much more than a little bite out of the sun here. The bad weather has passed (100+MPH winds in the area), and it’ll be sunny on Monday.
Starlink sounds like a great idea.
Spaceweather reports that a partial eclipse can be observed from all of North America.
