As you may know, there will be a solar eclipse happening in just a few weeks. Here are some places that will be able to witness this eclipse. The path of the eclipse continues from Mexico, entering the United States in Texas, and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan will also experience the total solar eclipse. The eclipse will enter Canada in Southern Ontario, and continue through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton. The eclipse will exit continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada.  One of the great things about the total phase of a solar eclipse is that it looks amazing. 

For Maine people the best place to see the eclipse will be in Houlton, the best destination as it is very close to the centerline of the eclipse. Mt Katahdin is a prominent peak that presents an interesting opportunity; if you are not in a location with a view.

California’s severe weather 

Thousands of Californians fled their homes as severe weather continued to batter the state, leaving one dead, a child missing, and massive swaths of power outages last week. Homes were flooded, streets were transformed into rivers and cars were swamped. One person was killed in Avila beach, roughly 180 miles north of Los Angeles, when a vehicle was overtaken by water. A child is also missing after being swept away when floodwaters swamped a vehicle in the northern section of the county. As of 7:15am PT on Tuesday, more than 232,000 utility customers were without power across California.
