where the 2017 and 2024 path cross

Wow, what's the probability that someone would have two total solar eclipses pass over his house in seven years???... You ever consider lottery tickets?

I figure eclipses owe us. We went to Hawaii in 1991 to view that year’s eclipse. Camped out on the volcano on the big island. Woke up to clear skies but as totality approached the clouds completely obscured the sun. Did get to see the moon’s shadow racing towards us from Maui which was neat, but not like what we saw a few years ago.

From an eclipse book we got in ‘91 we realized that if we lived, we’d have two eclipses at home. I can say that totality is totally awesome.
