My sister lives in Taos, NM where the sun was going to be 90% covered. She watched it on TV. All this past week Albuquerque was celebrating their annual hot-air balloon festival which was airing on local tv in the state. The festival yesterday included shots of the sun and eclipse while the balloons were in the air |

There was a enough of a break in the clouds to see a bit of it for a few minutes. Then the clouds covered it all up again, and it got dark-ish for several minutes. Typical PNW experience.

We were in an 85% area and it was perfectly clear. We had a fantastic view. It almost seemed fake. The sun and moon were both so perfectly round. We looked about every 15 minutes (ish) for about 2 hours. So cool!!!
