Totality will be visible in Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois,
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The link gives
the date and time for the event of a lifetime. It also shows an animated GIF
of the path of totality and partiality:

Prepare early for the event that only lasts for 2 minutes and 40 seconds !

Only 11 years to wait! And for me, a short drive to Oregon. But 2045 will be the biggie. I only have to drive 2 hours north. I'll be 81 then.
