Yep, first time since 1678 and wont happen again untill 2084. Only about the third time in recorded history its happened on the First day of winter...lol
Starts about 11:30 est, about 1:41 central(times have varied fom two different sources.)
Supposed to last for 72 minutes and make the moon a ruddy red color. Should be interesting barring cloud cover(which their saying we will have tomorrow night).

Nasa will probably post pics tomorrow, won't they?  But I'd love to see it.  Will watch through my skylight.  Might get lucky.

Yep, 3 more days of rain.
Tomorrow is my kids b'day too.

I half drained my pool hoping to do some work on it, next day they announce this forecast.  A foot of free water down the drain.
