I'm just east of one of the major cities in the path of totality that looks like it is further in the path than that city. Last time the kids were disappointed that it wasn't a total eclipse where we were and couldn't travel at that time to get closer. It was still awesome, it got about 10 degrees colder for about 20 minutes and the leaves from the trees filtered what little sunlight that shone through on to the ground into little crescent shapes of the eclipse that you could watch in real-time like some kind of pinhole camera, crickets started chirping and dogs were going apeshit. I could see some how some primitive cultures would believe that it was a sign of significance, religious or otherwise cus it was trippy.
