After a discouraging forecast, the sky cleared, and looking out the window a bit after 9 (EST) we could clearly see the eclipse starting. We went outside together shortly before totality. The effect was weird: the moon dimmed a bit more, and then brightened, as clouds drifted away. And then they drifted back. We didn't get the red or orange color the nice people at NASA predicted (based on lack of recent major volcanic eruptions), but we enjoyed the view. There were very few other people out there; some were probably in the park, and it was a cold night.
