I think that my son and I will plan something outside for that night. Two years ago, we were watching the initial cloudy bands from Katrina fill the sky.
Here's a better link...gives more information:

There will be a total eclipse of the Moon, visible from San Francisco, just after midnight on the the night of Monday August 27 - Tuesday August 28.What is a Lunar Eclipse?Set your alarm clocks and get ready for an all-nighter spectacle. A Lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow.
Because the Moon's orbit is slightly tilted with respect to the Earth's orbit around the sun, we see Lunar eclipses only occasionally - about twice per year if you are able to travel anywhere in the world. If the Moon's orbit weren't tilted against Earth's orbit, we would see two eclipses every month: a Solar eclipse every New Moon, and a Lunar Eclipse every Full Moon.
When and How to Observe
The eclipse will begin at 12:54 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on the morning of August 28. Totality will be reached at 2:52 a.m. PDT, when the Moon will fully be in the Earth's shadow. Totality ends at 4:22 a.m., and the Moon will exit the Earth's shadow fully at 5:24 a.m., right before sunrise.
To view the eclipse, no special equipment or location is necessary - just go outside and look up! You'll see the curved shadow of the Earth slowly march across the Moon's surface over a period of a few hours.
You'll also notice the Moon turning a shade of dark reddish brown or orange as it is engulfed by Earth's shadow. The reddish-brown color is caused by sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere. Dust and pollution in our atmosphere absorbs most colors of light, but passes through the red part of the spectrum. The remaining light colors the Moon. (This is the same reason sunsets appear red).
