2. Doesn't look like it.

'From Texas, the moon draws a straight path to Maine and Newfoundland, Canada.

Major cities in the path of totality are Mazatlán, Torreon, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Montreal, according to the Great American Eclipse website.

In most cities in the direct path, the moon will completely block out the sun for around three to four minutes. Mexico and southeastern Texas will see some of the longer durations of totality, hitting over four minutes. Austin; Toledo; Syracuse, N.Y.; and New Brunswick, Canada, will see the shortest times of totality, with less than two minutes. (The Great American Eclipse website also provides total eclipse times for cities along the path.)' . . .

Several large cities very close to the path of totality are St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit, Toronto and Quebec. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., are also within 200 miles of the direct path.'
