This thing is already getting hyped. It will be hysteria.

Have you seen a total solar eclipse? It’s an event that truly lives up to the hype

Heck, even a 70% eclipse was pretty damn rad and worth the hype.

Totality is a whole different level. 99% is for chumps. Hahaha. Seriously, make the trip to view totality.

I've seen 10 and it is the most surreal experience on Earth.

There was one just a few years ago and it was amazing, it's well worth any amount of travel to get there, we're fortunate enough to be just a couple hours north of where both pass by

The one we all got in the States a few years ago was the first one I've experienced where we got the weird shadows. I made sure to save all our viewing glasses in a safe place. We (again) are not in the path of totality, but we'll get enough for the cool effects. I'm so excited for my family. Our youngest was just barely five last time, next time she'll be 9. Hopefully we'll all have lifetime memories of it.
