I hope my critters don't look up at it.

All in all it was pretty cool, but next time I'd make the effort to go to an area of totality.

Saw it just a few hours ago just after sunrise. It was only partial here in the middle of the pacific. Thankfully the clouds cooperated, if only briefly. 
Some of you folks might find this interesting as well...https://www.space.com/37018-solar-ec...ity-right.html

I bought fancy glasses on eBay for 2 bucks and enjoyed watching it thru the clouds with my son. My husband said he took a break at 1 pm cat and went outside with his welding helmet on. It was about 70% here in WISCONSIN. I even heard the crickets get louder for a little bit. 😂
