bit late but i actually traveled to see it. Went to Lake Oneida in upstate New York to try to see totality and the corona because I never have before. Unfortunately I still haven't because it clouded over really heavily right as things were reaching the peak and the weather was miserable the whole VERY LONG drive back

The darkness of Totality was still really cool though, the way the light shifted and the way the horizons were all still bright across the lake was super cool, and you could see the totality zone shift as it moved along past us.
