Good to know
Look at the Sun only through certified ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses during the partial phases. Take them off only during totality, and put them back on when the bright edge returns. Within a couple of kilometres of the path's edge, the Moon's mountains can shift these times by a few seconds, so stay well inside the band if you can.
