We were not in the totality of the eclipse but pretty close in Springfield Oregon. here's the last picture I got before it started getting bright again. It was funny to it cool down about 10 before started getting hot again interesting.

One of my friends drove from Maryland (where we had 80% or so coverage. Got dim like a slightly cloudy day) to Tennessee to see and photograph the totality (he is seriously into astronomy and astro-photography, so has all the right equipment). He just posted his first picture to facebook, and it looks like he got some great shots.

We got a little grey here in southern Ontario, Canada... It was noticeable but nothing like what you had where you live @merne
Here in Birmingham, AL we had about 93% coverage. Like Merne said, you could feel it get noticeably cooler as it got dimmer. I did not manage any pictures though.
We were about 99.3% totality here in Wilsonville, Oregon. Street lights came on!
@Will, you got a lot darker up North. The telescope I bought was $20.00. it was hard to keep the eclipse in sight, just as the almost totality and the thing fall off my make shift tri pod. I was so busy getting it back in focus I did have time to see if any of our street light came on. I like your picture of the street light. Thanks.
