It's just overcast enough here that the prominences will be obscured.

Typical Ohiya overcast for terrestrial/celestial free shows! The last time Eddie saw an eclipse, he ran naked down the street banging pots, and pans together. I followed behind fully clothed, banging coconuts together(they paid me $10).

Got my welder's shade out for a couple of quick glances. No more than 50% occlusion here at peak.
You could just make out the lower lunar limb.

Did the same here Fred......we had about 86% occlusion here with light conditions making it look like an early summer evening ........my Kitchen got as dark as you would get on a dull overcast day! deepened shadows outside never seen it like that before but total partiality here was at 10:20 am PT and 15 minutes later everything was back to normal! It was a cool event,despite us just getting a partial eclipse!
Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt! :roll:

It was a 94% dud. I've had farts that darkened the sky more.

Bode and all the others being equal, the amount of energy reaching Earth wasn't diminished by all that much. The animals, however, picked up on the changing light flux. I noticed a slight uptick in insect noises which are usually nocturnal.
Given the Moon's outward progression of ~1.2 inches per year from Earth, spool the clock back about 10 or so million years and imagine what a total solar eclipse must have been like from a terrestrial standpoint.
