It will be a total Red Lunar Eclipse. It will happen tonight. You have to be in the eastern half of the country to witness the totality. At the end of the day, go outside and face the east. As the sun sets behind your back, a red moon will rise before your eyes. Maximum eclipse is at 6:21pm EST. According to Jewish Rabbinic tradition, a total Red Lunar Eclipse should be interpreted according to the following: (Talmud- mas. Sukkah 29a). Red Moon at Lunar Eclipse: A sword is coming for the whole world. Lunar:a bad omen for Israel. At sunset: the calamity will tarry in its coming. An interesting tid bit there.

HI Michelle,
Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are perfectly safe to view with the naked eye.A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Moon is full, and when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depends upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes.
The next total lunar eclipse will take place on 3 March 2007

You cant look at a solar eclipse but you can look at a lunar eclipse without it bothering your eyes. Believe me, i've seen about 4 lunar eclipses and my sight is as good as ever.
In the Western United States, the Moon won't rise until the event is largely over.
Here's a sight that gives details and times for each time zone.

possibly you need to provide us slightly a depiction of what you stated. I imagine you've were given considered the Moon dim and probably handle an orange or pink hue. because the section become about 5 or 6 days this can were the top results of the Moon descending into atmospheric murk out of your gazing web site. this can properly be dirt, smoke or pollutants or possibly a blend of the three on your west. I stay on the eastern fringe of a significant city and the Moon and planets can handle a brownish solid as they descend in the route of my western horizon. The Moon can merely enter Earth's shadow (a real eclipse) no matter if that is immediately opposite the sunlight contained in the sky, i.e. that is done Moon.

No, it will not screw your eyes up. That's the sun you are thinking of. The eclipse will already be underway when it rises for you...so be looking for it right after the sun goes down. It is perfectly safe to observe with your eyes, telescope, or binoculars.
Since it will be in total eclipse when it rises, it is probably going to look very strange...more so than it usually does when the moon is on the horizon. Also, it may be very difficult to find at first since it will be much darker than usual and the atmosphere on the horizon will intensify that.
Hope that helps.
Clear Skies!
