Solar Eclipse 2017

Visible to everyone? All the maps I've seen have a swath going across the midwest, but Texas isn't supposed to be able to see it, are we? Is it just that we'll see a semi circle cross along the bottom of the sun, instead of the full eclipse?

What you're seeing is the 70 mile wide TOTAL eclipse. All the US will see some of it. I saw another site I can't find at the moment that shows 75% here.
