In Portland we had 99.2% obscuration (official term) at 10:19am PDT. Blue sky. It was recommended to NOT wear the eclipse glasses with your regular glasses so I chose the indirect method. Worked fine. Held a 8 1/8 x ll cardboard with small hole in center by right shoulder (back to the sun). Then another cardboard in left hand, focusing it back and forth. Focusing on the sidewalk was fun, too.
There was no one around, but it got very quiet, and cool. How quickly it got darker, but reversed and got lighter. Then back to normal.
Unusually dry here. Recently ended a 57 day dry spell.
