Only thing I've heard is that you need (what sound like) heavy duty ones.

That's pretty awesome.

I really want to go and see a total eclipse some day.

Can't really do a countdown all that easily.  It happens at different times.

Well the vox thing does it for the US.  

I don't know how much you will actually see.  

Starts here in about 2 hours, 3 hours still peak.  Hopefully the sky clears up. :/

Sunny and clear here. Couple minutes till start

Was supposed to be thunderstorms and clouds today.  
But we can see the sun!  :D

Hopefully we can see something.

I see the moon! Just a little tiny chunk missing but still really cool.
