Keep in mind in Los Angeles only the bottom portion of the sun will be covered, hence the reason to wear glasses as you will be looking directly at the sun, and the peak is at 11am.
NASA says safe solar viewers should comply with the ISO 12312-2 international standard, adopted in 2015.

This Google Map, developed by Xavier Jubier, allows you to zoom into the eclipse path. Remember that the closer you are to the centerline (blue on the Google map) the longer annularity will last. Most towns in the US aren’t on the path. If you stay home, you’ll likely only see a partial eclipse.
