From Weather.com:
Daylight Savings Time ends tomorrow morning - Sunday, Nov. 3rd.
According to Google, sunrise is 6:56 AM EST (not EDT) in Hubbard, so, since the Weather.com article above says the eclipse should last for about 30 minutes past 6:38 AM in Washington D.C., maybe it will also be visible where I am.
I'm going to prepare a camera and see if I can take some pictures. Apologies if they somehow turn out really stupid-looking. I have little practice taking pictures, I've seldom taken very many at all. (Usually for lack of a camera, but at least that's no longer a problem.)
Here's a page from Exploratorium.edu with details on how to make something with which to safely, indirectly view an eclipse:
If it's visible at all here, I'm only going to look at it on my camera's screen (or in pictures), or maybe with one of the lazier methods listed on that page.
It will also be visible elsewhere in the world. From EarthSky.org:
This might be the first solar eclipse I'll ever see in my life, if it happens to be visible this far west (Hubbard, OH) tomorrow morning.
If you type something like "sunrise in hubbard" (or whatever your town name is) into Google, Google might tell you what time sunrise will be, above your search results.
Edit, posted at 8:16 PM. I should probably point out (even though probably most people know this) that you should always avoid looking directly at the sun.
