I'll probably wake-up check it out for a 30 mins or so and then back to sleep. A full Blood-Moon is rare and then being able to see it on your part of the planet when it happens, means I'm not going to miss out.

Blood moon timeline

12:40 a.m. CT -- Observers should start to see some partial darkening along the left edge of the moon that will increase as the minutes pass.
12:58 a.m. CT -- Partial eclipse begins: People will start to see the dark disk of the Earth's shadow crossing the moon. The shadow will advance across the moon throughout the next hour.
1:50 a.m. CT -- As more of the moon becomes covered in shadow, observers should start to see parts of the dark shadow turn dark red or orange.
2:06 a.m. CT -- Total eclipse begins with the moon completely in the shadow of the Earth and should appear reddish orange. The blood moon has arrived.
2:45 a.m. CT -- Great eclipse: The middle of the total eclipse; moon should appear dark red/orange
3:24 a.m. CT -- Total eclipse ends: Moon will begin to reappear from the shadow and coloration will begin to disappear.
3:45 a.m. CT - As more of the moon emerges from the shadow, the color should be mostly gone. What is left will appear black.
4:33 a.m. CT -- Partial eclipse ends as dark shadow completely leaves the moon, which will return to its normal look over the next 10-20 minutes.
5:37 a.m. CT -- Eclipse officially ends.

Thanks for posting this. I have went outside (at work now) to look at each of the times there is a change
