~Raining Metal: If you have appropriate tools to look at the sun (never do so without protection!) you'll notice a shadow crossing it. That's the moon.

Then I assume this phenomenon isn't visible to the naked eye? No sudden darkness in the day? Obviously staring at the sun directly means at the very least you'll get those bright marks for a long time in your vision.
Also, I did more research. I think the actual pathing of the eclipse is more specific than I hoped. I don't live in the United States, let alone the very narrow line specified for said continental United States.

As mentioned in the space thread, the darkening should be noticeable even at some distance from the full shadow path.

I knew there had to be a thread on this. Go ahead and throw this in the trash heap.
If your not in the path of totality, you won't see much. It's still cool to see the way animals react as well as the way it feels outside.

I seen it. The sun looked like a crescent moon, plus the colors outside got a little duller, and it wasn't as searing hot for a while.
To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."
They say it should be visible in the EST area of North America, but all I see is sun and no moon.
