    73% totality here. Thin cloud cover, but viewable. Being a radio operator, I was focused on radio propagation. I noted a big increase in activity on the AM broadcast band (similar to night). The stations have disappeared now. Overall, quite interesting.

    92% totality here, and we thought it would be much darker. During the time frame of the eclipse, out outdoor shed is in full sun. We watched the eclipse on the side of our shed. It was amazing to watch from start to finish! A perfectly cast shadow.

    No, but I found the PC sync cable for my camera that's been missing for a week while I was out in the driveway taking photos. That was pretty cool. It probably fell out of my bag.

    Noting relies about it, but it sure was nice to charcoal out some burgers, hotdogs, and a couple of steaks on the grill, and make a nice party time out it. That was a experience by itself. LOL

    Went to the Georgia Guidestones which were in the path of the total eclipse.

    The darkness only slightly greater than usual.

    I am pleased that you were not seriously injured by my post.

    I just found out a neighbor of ours decided to travel south for the event and did see the area around them looked a little surreal.
    They also saw a few brighter stars.
