Hope you will be able to view it from your location. Looks like west coasters will have better luck.

Article quote:

"The second total lunar lunar eclipse of 2014 and 2015 lunar-eclipse tetrad will occur on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, and will be visible from the Pacific Ocean and regions immediately bordering it. As the Moon passes completely through the Earth's dark shadow, or umbra, it will gradually get darker and then take on a rusty or blood red color."

Yes, second blood moon of the year. I'm an east coaster, but 'hope those on the left coast can catch it. Thanks for posting this, lbp

I was in my dark back yard around 6am, praying to God that I didn't get too close to any of the skunks that like to hang out under my shrubs. I saw the blood moon before it set.

Glad you guys got to see it!

I had my alarm set so I could get up and see the eclipse, but I somehow slept through the alarm.

Last night's news said Arizona is under too much cloud cover to view it. Glad it wasn't on my "to do" list, but my grandson was looking forward to it.

I usually snooze through these things. To me it's just another harvest moon and I've seen plenty.

Once again it was cloudy and rainy. Couldn't see it. This happens everytime there is something to view in the sky here in PA! lol

DH was downstairs waiting for it at 4 a.m. I woke up shortly after and told him to get me when it started. I watched it through the bathroom window!

My son said last night that it would be too cloudy to view it. But this morning he called me and said to look out my bedroom window and I could see it as it was just starting so I got to lay in my bed and watch it.
