We got about 85% or so, where I'm located, through a hazy cloud cover.

Totally cloudy here too. It got slightly darker and chillier out but that's about it, unfortunately.

I wanted to see it, but I thought it would be too dark to see. So, a couple minutes before it was set to happen I turned on my NVG's and looked up to watch. Now I'm blind.

It was about 89% here in Northern Virginia. It was mainly puffy clouds, with a lot of blue. A lot of the clouds were thin enough and diffused enough light so you could look for a few seconds at a time and get a good view. I did miss the lunar eclipse a few weeks ago as I forgot about it.

Went up to Northern Maine and saw the totality. Most amazing sight. People were beyond blown away.
