Avoidcrowds, I'm about 100 miles north of you and we had 97% eclipse. Didn't get what I would call dark but the quality of the light changed, it was duller and much less blinding. We are at 6500' elevation so the summer light is usually pretty intense. Temp dropped 9 degrees according to local NWS. A nice cool breeze also started that lasted almost until the sun was back to normal. DH and DD drove to see totality. Took them 7 hours to get back (normally a 90-minute drive).
