We were right in the path and got 100% coverage. There were big watch parties in several towns and cities, and it was a really festive atmosphere. The community of Hartland, just north of me, is usually home to about 1,000 people but yesterday they had huge crowds and even a news crew from the Weather Channel. People from all over the world - - I saw there were long line ups at the border on Sunday/Monday.
I was working but went outside to watch with some of my coworkers. We couldn't have scripted better weather with just a few wispy clouds that only appeared for a short while. I took this picture of our parking lot at 4:35 pm. It got dark enough that our streetlights came on.... but it was a different kind of dark. Then a few seconds later it visibly started getting light again. It was both eerie and spectacular. In the map picture I work in the area under the orange dot.
