Great in NE GA as well.
Wish I could have figured out how to take some pics.
Read this was the first coast to coast since the country was founded!

Street lights came on here in southern Illinois. I had to turn the headlights on while driving my V8 Ford.

About 50% in Upstate, NY, but still nice to see. Next one is in 20124 (I believe) and that one will be 100% here - now all I have to do is live that long !

81% here. It was very cool. My photos were awful, but looking at it through the special glasses was quite an experience.

I too used a welding shaded lens. We are too far south to see complete coverage. Maybe 80%. Still pretty interesting and noticeably cooler air as the blockage occurred. Got down to 91 degrees.
