Watching it on TV.

Clear day for it here, so I'll be venturing outside when it peaks in about an hour. Only 70% for us though, so not quite the APOCALYPTIC event they're having in the USA.

I went to watch it in Torquay in 1999 when I lived there. One bloke was watching it through binoculars.

We get 98.5% here in Charlotte, I'll take it. This'll be my third eclipse of any significance

Over a million people driving down there and so many already taking the day off, I just couldn't justify it.

I hope Donald Trump didn't watch it and enjoy it or he might start planning for a ''man made'' eclipse
