Here's an animation of where it will get dark as it moves across the USA:

If you're not in the direct path, you'll only see a "bite" get taken from the sun. The closer you are to the middle of the path, the longer it will stay dark. Somewhere around two minutes or so. You will need special glasses to watch it "eat away" at the sun. When it covers the sun you can take the glasses off and see the "ring" but be ready to put them back on quickly.
