13. It got pitch dark in Dayton Ohio too! 100% totality.

It was bright, sunny clear blue sky day...then when it got pitch black...it was silencing....amazing corona....A magical experience.

[No Vested Interest]

14. Very interesting! In eastern Cincinnati, 99.7% and still had shadows...

Temp had been 76 degrees and got noticeably cooler; a nearby bird was stilll chirping.

29. We have had a magical feeling experience..

The temperature did drop a little as well here in Dayton..... I feel peaceful now....it was a good day.

[IbogaProject]

44. Yes the temp drop was neat

I was barely in the zone at a rest stop on the Northway between lake George and Montrael. The temp drop was amazing. Got maybe 90 to 120 seconds of totality.

7. Very cool! My sis and her husband drove to Buffalo, NY for the viewing & I haven't heard from them yet

They live just an hour or two away from Buffalo, so it was a pretty easy trip. I am way out of the zone on the other coast — thanks for sharing your experience!

20. My friend near Fredonia said it was too cloudy.

I live in Virginia and it was really cloudy. We didn’t see a thing even though we were supposed to be at like 88%. Just looked a little darker like it was gonna storm.

11. My husband too pictures, but the y don't really look like what we actually saw

For one thing, the corona was much wider than what we saw

And the darkest it got was similar to your middle picture

15. Isn't that just mind-blowing! Turning day into night in the middle of the day.

Truly stunning. Captivating! And humbling at the same time.

Poor baby donald probably didn’t watch because he doesn’t recognize the reality of something more important than himself.

33. This is not a good quality picture, but so excited and proud

San Antonio had 97% cloud cover. We did travel to my son's house 30 miles north west on I-10, but cloud cover was like 96%. You could see a sliver of the sun behind the clouds from time to time, but it was too cloudy for glasses, so we just waited it out and tried to mark the sun's location with hopes of seeing something during totality.

Totality came. Crickets were chirping. People were popping fireworks (yeah..only in Texas). All of a sudden about 3 min 30 secs into totality, the beautiful corona appeared. It lasted about second or so, then the diamond of light began to appear. But, we could see the pink flares and the beautiful corona. I asked hubby and son if they got any pics. My son had snapped one with his phone. The photo quality isn't good because filming anything at "night" requires fidgeting with settings.

I was so excited to see the corona. Even if it was just for a second. I will never forget it.

I waited 12 years to see this eclipse.

[Hiawatha Pete]

39. Thanks for checking out my pics, LeftInTX! BTW I think your pic is good quality - it's a hard subject to shoot.

[Taylor Picker]

45. You got the "diamond ring," though. Nice job.

[LeftInTX]

47. My son snapped it. He may have had his phone in his hand, but wasn't planning on taking pics

because there wasn't anything to see.

Then, suddenly the corona appeared. It lasted a second and then lightness began.

By the time my son saw the corona and got the shot, the diamond was likely appearing.
