Where to look
At 10:46 AM the Sun is towards the east, 38° above the horizon. That is high enough to clear most buildings, so an open street, a balcony or a terrace facing that way will do.
What you will notice
During totality the sky darkens like late dusk, the corona appears around the black Moon and the brightest planets come out. The air often cools by a few degrees. Totality is the only time you can take your eclipse glasses off. Put them back on as soon as the first bead of sunlight returns.
