So I will just watch it on the news or whoever is broadcasting it. I am sure there will be plenty of internet sites showing the eclipse. If you are not seeing an event directly, you are watching an image of it and to me it is the same experience as watching it on the internet or TV except they will have better images. I do not think it will be much here in TV. A partial at best.
And it may be raining then here as well.
