Looks like the only place clouds will likely be a (big) problem is southeast Nebraska, of the spots with the full eclipse.
Again, REMEMBER TO USE PROPER SHIELDING FOR YOUR EYES.
Guaranteed, there will be people who are left at least partly blinded, because they didn’t.
Let’s not let any FReepers be among those.
What you do is look for some trees with lots of leaves and look at the eclipse on a wall behind the trees.
The light that hits the wall , through the trees will sparkle.
During the partial phase but check to the second for your location when it reaches totality and it will be safe to watch with naked eye. Be sure you know how long totality will last so you will know when to put eye protection back on.
