Used three sets of sun glasses to look at it. Did second long glances to look at it with out burning my eyes. Only about 25% coverage.

Peaks for me in a couple of minutes. No cloud cover, so it pretty cool.
Ring of fire now visible over California.
I did learn tonight that there will be a total solar eclipse on August 21st 2017 that will cross over very near to where my parents live... I would love to see that!
i looked at it while driving. forgot my welding helmet, so just looked at it the old-fashioned way. i saw the bottom covered - like many have said - 25% ish coverage.
I remember as a kid viewing an eclipse through my dad's welding helmet...very cool. I also recall a neighbor throwing an "eclipse party" for their kids' friends to keep them indoors so they wouldn't be tempted to look at the sun.
Friends don't let friends drive while welding!Quote:

Am I too late?!
I was driving. Seeing the sun through the trees while driving gave me the best view I could ask for. Caught it at all the way through. Very cool stuff.
