Thats it? VERY DISAPPOINTED! I have encountered more darkness during severe thunderstorms.

Not worth the hype at all.

But did you post about it on social media?

That's why people made an effort to get to the path of totality. It gets pitch black and the stars come out, and animals get a little concerned.

I would have traveled if I could. The kids and I just went out to observe with our glasses and I explained that the sun is so powerful, even covered at more than 80%, it's practically broad daylight.

HELL NO!

Yes, that's it. The sun is very bright, even when it's only at 15%. If you want full darkness, you have to go to the path of the total eclipse.

I don't think it got pitch black. I haven't seen that online.

You need the glasses to see the dark spot over the sun, and we were in 80% so seriously, 20% sun is still ALOT OF BRIGHT.

It totally made me want to travel to the path of totality in 2024!

You would only experience darkness if you were in the path of the 100% total eclipse. The only way you can enjoy the eclipse here is if you have the glasses.

I saw it pitch black in Oregon and Wyoming on tv.

Even here, it got noticeably darker and cooler. And seeing the sun as a crescent was great.

I used the bathroom and missed it

I'm in Colorado, and we had about 85% so it was still pretty bright out but what was weird was that it got really, really cold. And the shadows were all off. So it was still cool.

It did NOT get pitch black. I know people in the path of totality. They were not going crazy over what they saw - they expected more for making the trip (paying for airline tickets, etc.)
