Arizona here. A site said we only got about 66% of the sun covered up.
Who else lived in an area (and didn’t travel to another where it was better) where it looked like just another ordinary day for you? I’m tired of feeling envious while reading the other thread…I want to be surrounded by people who are just like me in this regard and didn’t see shit! 
South Florida. Much ado about nothing. Without the hype, the average person wouldn’t have noticed anything out of the ordinary.
At eclipse time, the sun was in fact completely obscured for me.
By the Earth, since it was about 3am local time…
I was lucky enough to witness totality in Amiens, 1999 and one of the things that really hit home to me was the difference between 99% coverage and totality is…er…er…er
…Night and day, literally and metaphorically.
50%, 60%, 70% is barely noticeable. Past that point, sure it may dim a little and in the high 90’s it gets noticeable darker but that last flicker of sunlight and plunge into darkness was the really awesome moment.
Northern Massachusetts. Sun looked a little different (egg-shaped), but really not much here. I’m not sure what all the people in Boston were whooping and hollering about.
A friend posted a pic of what he saw at the totality on Facebook. It was solely clouds.
I’m overseas, but my wife watched it in DC and didn’t really notice much of anything.
Here in Southeast Michigan is was still kind of cool. The light was dim, but not the same way that smog or clouds make the light dim. I got some great shots as I happened to be at a lab with the right kind of UV protective glass at the time.
Around 70% peak in suburbs of New York. I thought it was great, as did my six-year-old. We had a few clouds, but mostly clear, sunny skies. An hour of beautiful crescent-shaped dappled shadows under trees (and pretty little crescents reflected by a crystal prism in my car), with several minutes of enjoying the partly eclipsed sun through eclipse glasses.
Satisfying, but I’ll definitely travel to totality in 2024.
Western PA, meh. Additionally a huge rain cloud camped out over the sun and we were rained on despite 0% chance of rain.
On the plus side, I stopped for some beer later and everyone was discussing the eclipse. One waitress was pissed off because she was running around and totally missed what everyone on the deck got to see.
I looked at my phone and told her in an excited voice, “hey, just seven minutes!!!”
She asked what I was talking about and I told her the second eclipse was going to happen in seven minutes. She got all excited, clocked out for a break, came out on the deck and sat with us. Luckily, she’s a sweet kid and didn’t hit me.
Upstate NY. Even a partial eclipse is pretty impressive. I watched it with a couple of paper plates. A campus tour went by and they were impressed by it.
We had 75% coverage at the peak here in the SF bay area. It was noticeably darker outside, but if you didn’t know the eclipse was happening, you might have just thought it was a bit hazy or something. However, inside my house was quite different. I work at home, and that time in the morning the sun is usually streaming through my windows and it’s quite bright. But around 10AM, it felt more like it would in the mid to late evening. You gotta be in that sweet spot of totality to really appreciate an eclipse, though. That moment when the moon completely covers the sun, and it really does go dark.
I’m in Canada, and much of Canada got a partial eclipse. I saw the eclipse’s shadow through tree leaves.
NE Florida; it was a live-action Simpsons episode: the day started off sunny–partly cloudy–and 30 minutes before the show began, the black clouds rolled in and it POURED for the next 3 hours, stopping 10 minutes before the show was over. Didn’t even get to witness the “eclipse darkness.” Poop.
Was supposed to be 91.6% coverage. Guess they meant the rain clouds.
Currently in the Maritimes (of Canada). Don’t know what the coverage was, but guessing about a third. Viewed it through a pinhole set up, and was thrilled to get even that!
Just learned today that there will be an almost-total eclipse in Southern Ontario in 2024, and I can see totality by driving down to the Buffalo area.
Southeastern PA here. It was interesting how it got darker than normal for the time of day but other than that, I didn’t see a damn thing. My husband’s office got glasses for everyone so he saw it, not in totality, we didn’t get that here, but he said it was pretty spectacular anyway. I saw a pic he took and sort of wish I had glasses. My daughter and I were watching on tv and to see the totality was cool, but you can’t really appreciate it from a tv in your living room.
Lakes region, New Hampshire. It looked…kinda cloudy out, barely any darker than it had been the rest of the day. In fact it was far darker two or three weekends ago right before it rained in the early afternoon.
We’re supposed to be in the path of totality in 2024. I really hope I can schedule a vacation for then after hearing about how many visitors the states who were in this one’s path got this week.
We had partial cloud cover in Santa Barbara, but here are some cool pics from partial in 2012. The videos are worth watching if you have never seen the patterns emerge…its a little strange.
we got to 62%, and I got to see it in a pin-hole viewer - was pretty cool looking, actually. I geek out over this kind of stuff though, I also watched when Venus crossed in front of the Sun
Southern NH. We went out to the parking lot of the amusement park my daughter and I were visiting and set up my rig. I taped a pair of binoculars to a tripod, and projected the image onto a piece of cardboard held inline with the setup.
We showed it to lots of folks walking by and I think many of them were happy to get the experience of seeing the partial eclipse. My 12yo daughter thought it was cool, and enjoyed the experience of both seeing the eclipse, and sharing it with others.
Southernish Ohio. Had about 90% coverage, it got dark. Looked like it was a really cloudy day, but there weren’t any clouds in the sky.
Still close enough that everyone was sold out of glasses for the last couple weeks, not that I looked all that hard. Tried playing with a pin-hole camera, but my friends didn’t have enough patience so we gave that up.
I’m waiting for the april 2024, anyway, that one, the path of totality starts just a bit south of my house.
