Below is {recorded livestream?} of tonight's Rare Hybrid Lunar Eclipse, which in 2014 we can watch live online. No need to worry about clouds, or to go outside. Social Media has it covered.
It would be my second. I will always remember my first. It was in Ngaoundal, Cameroon, Africa, sitting on a bench at night in a small unlit bar run by Suzanne Ateh, my "African mother". I ate at her place every lunch, and spent many evenings drinking mimbo (beer), around a short table with backs to the wall, or sitting outside and looking out at the street. It was a paved highway with no traffic. Virtually none at all.
That night was the full moon of Ramadan, which started that year on May 4. The eclipse was May 21. Ngaoundal was probably 60-70 percent Muslim, and about 1/3 Baya, 1/3 Fulani, and 1/3 mix of other areas of Cameroon, brought there by a military training camp. I lived near the military camp, which is where the bars and prostitutes were.
(Original Livestream video link ended without recording, but here's a good link from Mexico. Fast forward to the first hour, hour ten minutes or so.)
