Happening now. There's a nice clear sky too.

@TerryMiller hope you get some pics for us.

5/8 now. Read on a tech blog today (Gizmodo) that cell cameras wont work because of a design issue.
They are correct. Shows up as a blob of light.

3/4 now and really dark here in the country.
I don’t see the “blood” moon they predicted though unless it happens on the back side.

Watching it now. I’m getting half-@$$ed pics on my iPad.

Well...

A. It's really cold outside (in the 30s here). Thankfully, there's no wind to speak of.

B. It's much farther away than I thought it would be. Ya probably need a telescope, zoom lens, or at least binoculars to get a good view.

C. As many here have, I've seen 'em before. Closer, and in warmer weather.

However...

Even with all my whining, it's still impressive.

Almost gone. You can see the blood red with binoculars.

Shoottt....Mac, it's 29 here! The secret is to put a coat on instead of walkin out on the porch with just yer Hanes on! Took me three trips outside to figure out the right combination. It's dang near straight overhead so I gotta go plum to the end of porch to see. That's a long trot barefoot. I may throw on some boots if I go out again.

Finally saw some red right at the total eclipse, and now it's opening up again. very dim though.
