They're really not that interesting unless you're in totality.

Then the world turns upside down. The sun is replaced with a black disk in the sky, with whispy tendrils of corona. The birds all land in the trees and the dogs all start barking. The crickets and frogs think it's nighttime and start making a huge racket. For a couple minutes the world is unlike anything you've seen.

And then it ends and you're stuck in a 15 hour traffic jam with all the rest of the people who've experienced an other-worldly event.

(I saw the one in 2017 but I'm skipping this one.)

I still found the 85% one in 2017 really freaking cool. Getting about 90% this time!

Unlike anything you've seen, except for a dark evening. I saw 2017 as well and the shadows were cool but I really don't think it was worth the hype.
