Watching the Solar Eclipse from our roof top.
Just south of Portland Oregon.

Please add your experience as it heads your way.

We were lucky enough to live in the path of totality.
We could see dozens of hot air balloons in the sky..what a great idea on this clear and windless morning.
It got dark but not pitch black. You could see the corona around the sun.
At the moment of totality all the birds in the trees took to flight and circled in large groups.

I'm in central Washington and we got a 97% totality. Looked pretty damn cool and I got to ignore my work for fifteen minutes. All around a good experience, but I wasn't awarded any superpowers like I had been hoping.

I'm in Broomfield, just a bit east of Boulder CO. I was hoping for more darkness. In lieu of the darkness I found myself wishing for a fleet or Aurora's to blot out the remainder of the Sun!!!!:sunglasses:

[Edit]
I did have my #12 welders helmet on, too bad my wife didn't take a snapshot of that. We were too busy passing the helmet back and forth.

During totality were you able to see stars around the sun?
This solar eclipse chaser claimed he could see stars during totality
