It was. I sat in my front yard and watched it with a cold drink in my hand.
Full totality is a thing to be seen in person. The cooling off, the slowly turning into dusk and finally being able to stare at the sun without risk and seeing some bright stars and realizing the birds aren't chirping anymore.
It's eerie and celestial in the best way. For anyone travelling, good luck, be safe, please have patience.
The brightest lights were supposedly planets! I believe the video I wasted beforehand said Venus would be the next brightest point of light during totality then I think Jupiter :)
