I was 40 miles north of Scottsbluff NE and saw the totality. Very amazing.

I got lucky in that the nominal 4 hr drive only took me 6.

Allegedly Wyoming had 545,000 extra cars in it on Monday according to TV news.

Watched it from my front yard with family that came from all over. My place is just north of Kansas City, MO. It had us worried as it rained all morning, but cleared out just before the eclipse started. We got to see totality (which was stunning) and then the clouds moved in 3 minutes later.

Then we proceeded to get 7 inches of rain the rest of the day/evening.

It was nice to not have to drive anywhere, and the timing just happened to work out. I was happy my girls got to see it. Certainly will be memorable.
