I could go to my brothers' place in North Carolina if it would help.
That's a very kind offer, but please don't make any plans yet: having missed most of totality of the 1999 eclipse due to an inconveniently placed cloud, I'm keen to find somewhere with skies as clear as possible. Also, there's likely to be an extensive US tour constructed around this, so I'd expect to be in Ohio at some point anyway.
Meanwhile, this side of the Atlantic, there will be a partial solar eclipse rather sooner, on Friday 20 March 2015. It's actually total on a path running from the north Atlantic up into the Arctic; the UK will see varying fractions of the sun obscured, from about 85% in south-east England up to at least 95% in northern Scotland. The maximum looks to be around 09:30 UK time. There are more details on the
main NASA solar eclipse page - scroll down the list to the right date, and follow the individual links.
