Many people I know commented that they expected more, wasn't that impressive. I know some that went North but stopped short of the path of totality. Even my totally-not-a-geek girlfriend and her daughter said they can believe how most people that stayed home weren't impressed, because the difference between the scene a few seconds before totality, and then during, was (literally) night and day. Another friend of mine that really didn't care posted this: "I wasn't really that excited about it at first, but after witnessing the totality and seeing how much light still came through at 98%-99%, I can see why there is such a big difference on people's feelings on whether you got to view it at totality or not. It was pretty amazing to see I have to say. I'm glad we got to experience it."I was surprised it wasn't darker at 95-99% blockage but I think a light meter would have shown there was actually a significant change. The pupils in our eyes do a pretty amazing job of compensating for low light.
