Just finished watching from Lampasas, Texas

About an hour outside of Austin. Worth it without a doubt.

I was wondering if it would get pitch dark. It was more like the light about ten or 15 minutes before dark.

It's started already, pretty neat. Sky is hazy but it's not impacting the eclipse.

I'm not really watching but just noticed it's definitely darker.

I've seen lots of eclipses - my favorite are the lunar.
