Will You Be in the Path of Totality?
It's coming. There's nothing you or anyone can do about it. On August 21, the Great American Eclipse will arrive. It will be the first coast-to-coast total eclipse since 1918, and the first time since 1252 with a "path of totality" that will only exist here in the continental US.
The "path of totality" is about a 70-mile wide stretch of land, extending from Oregon to South Carolina, where there will be a total eclipse. Here in the Lehigh Valley, a partial eclipse will occur.
Chances of best weather are in the western US.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
No clue this was happening - thanks for the heads up! The last (partial) eclipse I can recall happening in the Lehigh Valley I think was in the mid 90's at some point.
ReplyDeleteApparently the August 21st one will be a bit to our south, but at its peak at 2:44PM should noticeably darken the sky...
