The Sunday paper was saying that we were going to be disappointed with only 93%....they were correct....still really bright out.

I guess I should have listened to the news this past weekend. I got excited when the school board announced that the busses would be driving home with there lights on.

I will say that at 93% totality, that sun is still strong as hell.

I agree. We had 97% here north of Atlanta and it was still pretty bright out. You could tell it was a little darker, but I think a lot of people were bummed.
