On the east coast my sister was really hyper about the event... but she was thinking it was a 'total' total eclipse, but there was a sliver of moon that constantly appeared... she (and I) thought it was total...
I was wondering about that....my dad and I stood out in his yard for I don't know HOW long, waiting for totality (the moon was about half-gone when we came out). That last little bright sliver along the one side never really disappeared. Unfortunately my arthritic knees started complaining of the cold before I could see the moon begin to return.
Kickass pic, obeygiant. Hope you don't mind me sending that to my dad.
