No, didn't have any protective glasses, plus it was overcast.

Only 66% covered here, did not get glasses to look at the sun, scared off by reports of so many fake eclipse glasses out there. The effect was cool, however, not like a cloud was covering the sun, it was more "muted", almost like a photoshop effect.

It was a bust, too cloudy. We were supposed to be 87% but it didn't even seem noticeably darker than a normal cloudy day.

92% in E WA, clear skies.
I came, I saw, I cowered.

Literally at the last minute found glasses from 1992 - LOL - still in the package. Recalled running into them a few months back and "putting them in a safe place" for this eclipse (which obviously was promptly forgotten). Something this morning led directly to where they'd been safely stashed. SMH
All's well that ends well.

Very dramatic here in Carbondale. 100% and 2:40 totality. Became quite dark, and cooled off noticeably. The light, as it got darker and darker, was very weird. It reminded me of "night time" shots in old movies, especially westerns, when they'd shoot in the bright daylight but with filters to underexpose the film to make it look dark. It was as dark as late dusk, but the shadows were all wrong.

Yep, and like others, I didn't need any eye protection because it was cloudy. But it did get noticeably darker (82.2% here).
