Any of you know where glasses and camera filters are being sold in the OKC area for viewing, photographing the eclipse?
Watching this thread. I ordered 5 pair of ISO / CE certified glasses on Amazon 2 weeks ago, with a 2 day delivery. I received a notice yesterday that my order was delayed - I promptly thought screw 'em and cancelled my order. I think the Seller realized they could get more than the $10.99 for 5 glasses I ordered. It wouldn't surprise me if they pulled the stock and drove to a prime viewing area to sell 5 glasses for $100.
Check with the Kirkpatrick Museum, saw on the news they were selling them.

Yes, as long as the filters are #13 or darker, you're good to go.
Oklahoma will experience about 85% coverage. Not safe for direct viewing. One of the stations said Walmart was selling the viewing glasses. Supposedly a #13 welder's glass will work. More info at https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters
If you can't find the glasses and don't want to buy welding goggles, you can make a pinhole box out of a cereal box.
Yes - Shade 14 or greater.
