Nice shot! You were truly blessed - not so, were we farther to the north.
The moon and Saturn popped out from behind the cloud cover periodically, all
the way up to totality, then total black-out.
I managed to share a binocular view with my bride of the last sliver before
totality, with a tinge of red on the left edge - that was the highlight of
the evening.
Oh well, only another 21 months...

Nice shot Dan!
All I saw was rain, clouds and lightning.
