In my area, we had about 87% coverage. With that amount, I was amazed at how bright the sun was still. Incredible I think and made me realize just how powerful our sun is for light and warmth. I actually enjoyed the eclipse even though we didn't have a total one.
It was remarkable in many ways. It was beautiful, awe inspiring -- I watched the total eclipses on tv as they were happening as well -- and I loved how it brought so many people together to watch it.
