I think I've seen 100% eclipses (or at least very close to 100%), but I don't quite quite remember where I was at the time or how long ago it was. I don't remember it being that big of a deal though and what we had here yesterday was more of a case of probably not even noticing it if you weren't looking at the sun with protective lenses. Hell, things get darker with just a typical summer cloud rolling over than during the eclipse.
No big deal down here, got a little less sunny for a minute or two and did seem to cool a bit. Then off to the range to send some lead down range. Great afternoon for me.
Well. No cases of ultraviolet light keratitis today.
It went pitch black here for about 3 minutes. Was way cooler than I thought it would be. Need to readjust the time setting on my camera

nice photo snowwolfe
was it cloudy or overcast where you were? kind of smoky here.

It was generally clear, some clouds were moving through but when "totality" arrived no clouds were covering the sun. Both the wife and I were shocked at how much we both liked it. Pitch black in the middle of the day then daylight again in less than 3 minutes.
We were only about 8 miles from the exact path it was centered on.
