Because of the hype, I really wanted to miss seeing this. Success.

What an over-hyped disappointment. In Liberty (very few clouds) and it didn't get dark as night... not even close. Saw a few of the features just before totality which were cool, but it mainly felt like a cool dusk evening.

Nothing but clouds in jax. Just like every day.

It was pretty disappointing. 99.6 percent or so and it was basically twilight with a bit of a temperature drop. I really wouldn't have thought you would have to go to the actual small area of 100% to get the experience.

I thought it was really neat. I ended up getting much more into it than I thought I would.

Northern California, at least bay area was pretty well fogged out (north bay and surrounds)....

Not sure about east or south bay

Damn that was disappointing. Colander was cool. Eclipse shadows were cool. I really thought it would get darker than that though. Basically no different than if a cloud obscured the sun here.

Clouds rolled in and completely obscured everything about 10 minutes before the peak.
Why does everyone care about seeing the moon in front of the sun? I just wanted to see how dark it would get during the day time. Pretty weak up in Omaha where I'm at today. Some of the automatic lights came on in parking lots.

I heard you could strain your eyes using a colander.

Got real dark down here in Nashville. Very neat.

It was 99.8% here. This is how bright it still was.



The lens flare shows the shape of the sun. For comparison here is one I took briefly before showing a more clear crescent.



Through the glasses though the thing looked absolutely amazing.

Looking at the shadows it cast on the ground?

I saw the ground get dark just north of downtown on I-35. I got stuck for an hour and a half just south of Des Moines.

Pretty cloudy here, but we were able to catch a few glimpses. Cicadas were loud during totality.
