Is seeing a 100% total solar eclipse really that different than seeing it at 95%? Is it worth the 6 hour one way drive?

The difference between a 95% eclipse and a 100% eclipse is literally the difference between day and night. With any partial eclipse, you don't experience the "awesomeness" of totality. It's hard to put into words, but once you experience a total eclipse, you understand the difference. At 95%, you will barely notice anything going on -- just some slight dimming of daylight. - Bill

I saw this in a Reddit thread which is why it piqued my interest to drive down. I was going to stick around Calgary, with our 85% coverage, but these NASA scientists are saying you will hardly notice it.
