O) -- ECLIPSE THREAD - Where are you watching the eclipse? % of totality? [View all]

We are in North Myrtle Beach SC. People are pouring into the condo hotel we are staying at. 50 checking today - the check in guy told me yesterday. Our stay just happened to coincide with the eclipse but I did get glasses for $2 at Lowes about two months ago. We got here on Saturday.

Lots of Canadian plates. No idea if it's just their vacation or it's the eclipse. The overhead interstate signs on I74 all the way down warned of eclipse traffic on Monday. Charleston will be 100%. That's 98 miles away so no need to travel that far for 1%.

You?
