Late to the party. But this is how I spent my time viewing the Blood Moon Eclipse.

Happens every time when something amazing happens in the night sky.

Starts out a nice clear no clouds in sight!
Then when night comes some clouds starts to move in.
And right as the event happens.
It storms.
And when the storm passes over. The event ends.

So yep that's how I got to see...*sips coffee angrily*
