Extremely underwhelming for me too. I'm in a 92% area

and frankly, it was darker outside when a cloud was overhead an hour before the eclipse than it was during the full eclipse.

I honestly would have never known it was happening if I hadn't heard about it beforehand.

Maybe if I'd had the glasses and could have looked directly at it, it would have been different. But even if you couldn't look directly at it, I had heard it was going to look like a 360 degree sunset (which sounds darned cool by itself). Failing to see anything remotely impressive, I went back to watching the coverage on the NASA stream.

Was BLEW absolutely away by totality !!!! ** -- astrohokie 08/21/2017 3:08PM

I actually agree, because -- daisyWV 08/21/2017 3:08PM

I was never good in science. Thanks * ** -- daisyWV 08/21/2017 3:29PM
