I was in ~80% zone. It wasn’t 80% darker. It was maybe 25% darker.

Web searching that phrase just gives me times and such.

    I was in the path of totality.

    It wasn’t dark like the middle of the night. It was dark like the sun was just about to dip under the horizon.

        Yeah it was crazy having a “sunrise” all across the horizon instead of just one location. There was only about 5 minutes of noticably darker lighting before and after the totality. Other than that, i would have had no idea the moon was transiting the sun if i hadn’t spent an hour watching it go across.
