There was a 70% reported coverage in my area, and the area still looked daylight. You could barely see the crescent because the shine of the sun was obscuring most of it

Sounds like someone didn't use the appropriate glasses.

It's like telegraphing a fucking high-low mixup. Of course the sun is going to go high!

I used them afterwards and you could only see an orange circle with a black crescent. No fancy glowing corona or anything

You missed it, 70% might as well been nothing.

It is only at 100% that you get the full darkness and the visible full eclipse that you can see without protective glasses.

yeah I'm in a totality area and it was legit as fuck. For about 2 minutes you can take your glasses off and look directly at it. Looks like a ring of light and the whole area was darkness. Once the moon started to pass you could see the sky start to lighten up on one side and slowly come your way. As it finally passed there was this super bright dot of light from the sun peeking by.

I was in like, 60% area I think? It's still pretty cool, there's a noticeable chunk out of the sun and in general it just feels not as warm as you'd expect from standing in sunlight

Yeah I was at 99.4% and still couldn't look at it without glasses. Got really dark though.

Was in the 70% area. Thought the slight darkness and cooler temperature was cooler than the coverage itself.

It's a total crock. 2:46 pm est was the estimated time for maximum darkness in my area and it's about the same as a slightly cloudy day outside. What a gyp!

When I was a wee lad I remember the one from back in 1984 and it made everything look like a amber color.

My Great Grandma told me that it was a warning from God and that he was going to destroy the world soon if people and the world didn't get their shit together.

98% reported coverage here and it barely looked like it was 8pm.

Just an eerie sort of lighting and that's it.

When they said it won't last long that should have been your clue that it is hype. btw I think it was leo moon and sun.

It was overhyped to hell and back. Of course people are going to be disappointed by the reality

Was in an area with 96% coverage and the light was noticeably dimmer. Kinda like the filter on a photo coming to real life. Also standing in direct sunlight didn't feel intense or warm.

It's 100% or nothing. Anything less is completely different.
