We got lucky and the clouds parted just in time in my corner of Texas.

    Not for us :( seemed like the clouds got thickest literally during totality and immediately cleared up after. We only got one little tiny glimmer of it for like 10 seconds.

      The one eclipse I saw was in cloud, and I was surprised at how intense the experience still was. At the moment of totality, all the light seemed to suck away quite suddenly, even though it had obviously been getting darker gradually. It felt very eerie and a little frightening.

      I was in Cornwall in the UK, and the amusing thing was seeing the sparkle of people’s camera flashes going off all along the stretch of coast. I’d love to see those photos. “This might look like a picture of a fence taken at night, but trust me, it was 11am in summer…”
