    Cool lighting on Delmarva. It never reached beyond 80% from what I could see with the pinhole viewer. if you tried to even glance at it there was too much sun to see it, completely blinding.

    the full eclipse only lasts a couple minutes...you might have missed it. I was out during the full part and it definitely darkens everything, but most people would probably think there was just a rogue cloud blocking the sun. Saw a full eclipse when I was in mexico back in the early 90s...same thing.

    It was only a partial one here, but I figured I'd see something, but nope (didn't have special glasses). I was outside at the time it was supposed to happen. Pretty lame, but I did watch it on TV in other places that it actually happened.

    As luck would have it... they were giving away eclipse glasses on Sandy Hook. I just walked over to a bunch of people and said, "can you see anything yet?" They were like... "sure! wanna see?"

    I think it was something like 71% here. Pretty cool...
