How much do public spaces fill in the hours before the eclipse? Do people tend to show up in the early hours of the morning? There’s a small city park near us that we were going to walk to, but we may just stay in our backyard if it’s going to be hard to find standing room.

East side of Cleveland here. Fingers crossed the clouds clear out in time.

Hello from beautiful downtown (ok, "midtown") Cleveland. Sunny AF right now but the models are super confused as to whether it'll be 25% or 90% cloudy in 3 hours. Previous forecasts were all "go farther west towards Toledo for maximum sun" but now it looks so random I'm tempted to just stay here near our hotel room? Ugh. Stupid eclipse gonna give me an ulcer!

The local forecast office seems to think we’ll have cirrus for the eclipse, but it shouldn’t be bad enough to block it completely.

Was really worried about the cirrus cloud cover but it ended up being spectacular. Seeing the shadow on the clouds racing towards us, the diamond ring, the corona still clearly visible, the bright prominence at the bottom of the disk… about the only thing I didn’t really see was shadow bands, and that’s probably because of the thin cloud cover.

loving incredible. Totality is a thousand times cooler than 99% coverage.
