BEST CHANCE TO SEE THIS?
>>> FINALLY TONIGHT HERE, THE
SOLAR ECLIPSE ON MONDAY
AFTERNOON.
WE'LL BE ON THE AIR LIVE HERE,
SHOWING YOU THE WHOLE THING.
BUT IMAGINE IF THIS WAS YOUR
13th ECLIPSE.
TONIGHT, PREPARING FOR THE
ECLIPSE ACROSS AMERICA.
IT'S ON MONDAY, AND WE'LL BE ON
THE AIR LIVE RIGHT HERE ON ABC
TO SHOW YOU THE WHOLE THING
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
AND IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS, NO ONE
IS MORE EXCITED THAN LAVERGNE
VISOR, 105 YEARS OLD.
HE'S BEEN CHASING ECLIPSES FOR
DECADES.
IT ALL STARTED IN 1963, PACKING
HIS OLDSMOBILE STATION WAGON,
DRIVING MORE THAN 2,000 MILES,
FROM FORT WORTH, ALL THE WAY TO
MAINE.
THAT'S HIM WITH HIS OWN
INSTRUMENTS, CAPTURING IT ALL.
LAVERGNE AND HIS WIFE MARION
SEEING 12 ECLIPSES TOGETHER OVER
60 YEARS.
NEW MEXICO, BACK IN '72.
WILLISTON, NORTH DAKOTA, IN '79.
HE TOOK THAT PICTURE.
AND IN 2017, WATCHING FROM
BEATRICE, NEBRASKA.
THIS YEAR, THE ECLIPSE COMING
RIGHT THROUGH TEXAS, LAVERGNE
WON'T HAVE TO GO FAR.
AND RIGHT HERE TONIGHT --
>> HI, DAVID.
>> David: LAVERGNE ON HIS 13th
ECLIPSE AT 105.
>> CORONA OPENS UP AND IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO SEE.
SO, IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO THE PATH
OF TOTALITY, BE SURE TO DRIVE IN
THERE AND SEE IT.
>> David: MILLIONS OF AMERICANS
LIKE LAVERGNE WILL BE ALONG THE
PATH OF TOTALITY.
MORE THAN 2,000 MILES LONG,
ACROSS 15 STATES.
AND AS OF TONIGHT, WHO WILL GET
THE CLEAREST VIEW?
HERE'S ROB.
>> YEAH, DAVID, A LITTLE BIT
MORE COMPLICATED WITH THIS
ECLIPSE, BECAUSE IT'S COMING IN
EARLY SPRING, WHERE THE
ATMOSPHERE IS OBVIOUSLY MORE
ACTIVE.
AND IT'S GOING TO BE THAT WAY IN
TEXAS.
UNFORTUNATELY.
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER THE
DAY OF THE ECLIPSE IN TEXAS.
SO, CLOUDS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE,
PLACES LIKE WACO AND TYLE AND
EVEN DALLAS.
AND OVERALL FLOW IS NOT A DRY
ONE.
CITIES UP THE LINE LIKE
INDIANAPOLIS, CLEVELAND, AND
BUFFALO, HOPEFULLY THIN CLOUDS,
BUT THAT AREA IS GOING TO BE
TOUCH AND GO DAY OF.
WHAT LOOKS BEST FOR CLEAR
VIEWING RIGHT NOW IS IN NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND, INCLUDING
BURLINGTON, WHERE YOU'LL BE
I THINK WE CERTAINLY HOPE AND
WE'RE ROOTING FOR EVERYBODY TO
HAVE A CLEAR SKY OF THIS ECLIPSE
COME MONDAY.
DAVID?
>> David: THANK YOU, ROB.
ROB WILL BE IN NIAGARA FALLS.
LAVERGNE, OF COURSE, WILL BE IN
TEXAS.
WE'RE HOPING FOR A PERFECT VIEW
FOR YOU, LAVERGNE.
HE LOST HIS WIFE MARION LAST
YEAR, HE'S GOING TO BE WATCHING
FOR HER.
AND YOU CAN WATCH ON ABC.
ABC NEWS AND NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC, MONDAY AT 2:00 P.M.
EASTERN.
I'LL SEE YOU THEN.
GOOD NIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING WORLD NEWS
TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR
AMERICA'S MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST.
