Just north of DC here in downtown Silver Spring MD. First nibble is at 1:17, max coverage (85%) at 2:42, and the last nibble is at 4:01 pm Eastern.

Forecast is for mostly cloudy with a heavy thunderstorm moving in about 4. :(

Ya; we have smoke from our numerous forest fires in the area; makes everything yellow.

Here's some of the pictures that I got of the eclipse today. Our telescope did a good job as you can see the sun spots and other details pretty good. Hope you like them!

We live in Washington. We traveled to just south of Salem to view totality, and we loved it. Got in the night before, to avoid crowds. (It was way more crowded going home than coming in.)

And we'd gladly do it again.

For Washingtonians, we do like Oregon. Spent our first night together as a married couple in Brookings, and one of our earliest dates was to Seaside and Tillamook.

Yes; I have went to Washington on vacation and missed all the parks and resorts on the Oregon coast.

I don't know if everybody from other places knows that the whole Oregon coast is designated a state park; no private development is allowed on the coast.
