Hard to get a photo at 100% but this is the best I could get:

Birds stopped...cicadas started at the twilight...then stopped when the darkness left.

90+ % here.

Dogs were fighting with each other, chickens were spread out flat to the ground in a panic... Weird.

I was pretty disappointed at 80%....it gets darker during cloudy days

that was the stupidest thing i have ever seen. never got dark. looked just like it does during a thunderstorm. what a flop.

Yes, It was very odd that we still had light when just a small sliver of sun was still present... then just went completely dark as soon as the sliver was gone.

75.5% in Fort Worth, TX, glasses at the ready and off work today.

Looking forward to the April 8, 2024 total eclipse, we will be in the path of totality for that one!

I just put 4/9/2022 in my calendar to start booking a hotel

It'll be my 42nd birthday present.

Well, what do you do after the big event is over? Head to Krispy Kreme for an eclipse donut!!! Lol

It's interesting to hear some people were disappointed. At 70% I was surprised just how much darker it got.

It was already thunder storming and cloudy here where I am so we noticed like no difference at all.

It's hard to complain when you didn't have to travel to see it in totality. We might travel in 2024 since the kids will be older and I'm always looking for an excuse for a road trip.

100% here

I went to Columbia, SC to see the 100% eclipse. Definitely and awesome experience! Glasses weren't needed for the 2+ minutes of totality. We had glasses for the rest of it. I don't see how anyone could have been able to look at the non totality part without the glasses. It was unbearable and then suddenly dark.

I saw some planets show up and felt the temperature drop.

Watched it from my yard here in Lincoln NE. It was awesome. We had some cloud cover but still had an amazing view of it. At the point of total eclipse it had a deep purple color around it and was near totally dark here. Way cooler than I expected.

I did notice a temperature drop here when it happened. Been very humid lately. The other observation was we didn't have total totality here, probably 99%. The very small amount of light at that moment was a brilliant white light. Like a white 20000k led. Very cool.

Anyone here in its path? My work is providing glasses and each employee gets a "moon pie"! Lol

"See you on the dark side of the moon"

Do we work together?? lol!

Yes! Got to see the 100% total eclipse. Pictures just can't justify the beauty leading up. Or maybe I'm justifying the fact I didn't get any pictures. Either way it was amazing. The 360 degree sunset effect was amazing too!

Here was my view, just before peak. Our local library has an astronomer friend who brought his telescope to share with the public. Very generous! My kids thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Maybe your HR talked to my HR? Lol

Haven't had a moon pie in years, wasn't bad. Lol
