98% here in Bangor on a perfectly clear day. The light color or shade really changed, you could feel the temp drop, and the parking lot lights came on as a bunch of us watched it through welding helmets and those real eclipse glasses. A coworkers wife and kid scooted to their camp 50 miles north and she texted that it was full dark there. Very cool.

I know this topic's kinda old now, but I'm just seeing this post today. Luckily, I live in the path of totality (New Castle, IN). We had four minutes in the shade. It was wild. We were downtown (my wife just opened a candy store last year, and she was open, so I brought the kiddo to watch it with her). She was the funniest. She was all, "I don't see what the big deal is." Then it happened, and she was awestruck. If there's one in the future, and you can get somewhere that's in totality, I strongly advocate it. When the last glimmer of the sun faded behind the moon, all the folks downtown clapped and cheered. Then it got eerily quiet. I will admit, even though it was announced that it was okay to look at the eclipse during totality without eye protection, I only took brief glimpses. Totally amazing. I can understand why our ancestors made up fantastic stories to explain it. Even now, knowing what it was, it still felt mystical.
