I got to see the whole two minutes of totality up in north Austin. There was a light haze over it but not too bad.

I'm in hill country. We had enough break in the clouds not to miss anything!
The cloud cover was enough so that I didn’t have to use my eclipse glasses. When I was using them, I couldn’t see anything.
Me too! North Austin lucked out!
Fat bummer, my condolences. That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, the clouds parted just in time here in DFW.
Coolest shadow in my life. 10/10 would see again.
No joking tho that was so sick. Partial doesn't compare to totality at all, it's freaky how cool it is.
It was over so quickly. Even without seeing it, the rapid darkness was creepy.
It was a vibe.
Leander cleared up just in time for totality. It was so cool!
Welcome to every day of your life in the PNW.
I mean... you can't see the sun...so there's that.
Now I'm really glad I didn't fly to Austin for this one.
That was my plan two weeks ago. Then I checked the weather and came to Maine instead. It was amazing!
Perfection
Nah you're doing it wrong. The clouds are supposed to clear up just before the eclipse. Have you tried telling them?
Beautiful skies in Arkansas. There were people there with Texas eclipse shirts that made the drive up for fewer clouds.
Yup, Upstate NY in the totality zone. It was beautiful yesterday, but nothing but clouds during the eclipse. It was still wild to experience everything go dark and transition back. All the wildlife freaked out. Pretty humbling, even though we couldn't see it.
Damn that sucks! I'm in Miami, and it's really cloudy, but the clouds actually helped you see it better, interestingly enough. We only got about 40% coverage on the right side, though.
