About 85% here, amd the wild thing was how dark it got while also being a sunny day. Made my eyes feel weird just looking around outside.

We were in 93% and it was still a really cool experience imo. Seeing just the tiny sliver of sun shining thru was pretty neat with the correct eyewear. Our office just stood outside looking at the sky lol

Standing outside on a bright sunny day and the sun doesn't feel hot on my skin, it looked as dim as a heavy overcast and rainy day but the sky was blue and the sun was casting shadows. And then half an hour later everything was back to normal. 9/10 would eclipse again.
