[QUOTE="R.D.P., post: 15681072, member: 155368"] I ended up about 45 min south of Knoxville in 2 minutes of totality. I had read how being in even 99% wasn't like being in 100%. I thought it was exaggeration, but didn't want to risk it. Now I get it. The view with glasses and without is completely different and you can only get away with not having the glass if it's 100%. At the end of totality I could see the sun about to come back. I put on my glasses but couldn't see anything, moved my glasses for an instant and got a look at what was probably 99.9% coverage. It instantly overwhelmed my eyes and washed out the spectacular view that had been there just 1-2 seconds before. With glasses it's like looking at a picture. But without you can see the whole sky and see the moon just hanging there perfectly blocking the sun and the sun's corona blasting away behind it. Seeing the corona is what makes it spectacular and pictures or video just can't capture it. Definitely exceeded my high expectations and made me instantly want to see it again. Only 7 more years...
