It’s a big deal. I am not in totality zone but I am pretty close. We considered driving to totality zone but we think roads would be all full and crazy. We will try to watch partial eclipse by us if I take off work. I saw partial eclipse in 2017 and I have awesome pics. One is in my profile here. You can see moon covering part of the sun clearly.
There will be life video online too. I’ll watch that too
