Hi Hurricane!
Sorry! The March 18th eclipse (note that it occurs March 18th for United States time zones) falls during our night, 9:27 p.m. to 12:17 a.m. Since it's at night, of course we can't see the eclipsed sun at all.
So we need to find you an eclipse you CAN see: How about ...
The May 20, 2012 partial eclipse is visible, just barely, in most of the Ohio valley. Unfirtunately, it's going to be a very shallow partial eclipse (only a tiny nibble out of the solar disc) and it starts only a minute or two before sunset. The November 3, 2013 eclipse is like that too, and even that can be seen only in Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. So is the one on October 23, 2014. But how about ...
The August 21st, 2017 TOTAL eclipse of the sun. And it's visible in the Ohio valley! The line of totality crosses southern Illinois, much of western Kentucky and central Tennessee. This is the eclipse you've been waiting for, and it's a mere ten years away.
By the way, there will be a total lunar eclipse for you, and all the United States this summer, just before sunrise Tuesday August 28th, 2007.
P.S. to Hurricane! Leave a comment to tell me which state or city you're calling from, and I can tell you when the next total eclipse for you will be.
