It got pretty dark here during totality but it was very cloudy before and during so we couldn't see the sun at all. The clouds dissipated slightly and I was able to get a photo just recently but well past peak coverage.

The sudden darkness is a little eerie.
Hahahahaha
It probably helped your eyes too.. to be looking directly at the sun.
I heard that looking directly at the sun is not good for your eyes, but it there happens to be clouds and part of a moon in front of it, then it must not be as bad for your peepers.
Basically, on a norm looking directly to the sun can damage the optical lens of the eyes but the solar eclipse helped in having a partial view of the sun.
In Kano state Nigeria, the heat intensity was on a high temperature but when the solar eclipse happened, the heat reduced, that is to say the eclipse have helped residents in the area within the interval it lasted. Lol
The solar eclipse to me seems like a sign that Bitcoin is warming up for a milestone considering it's movement in price yesterday, just an assumption anyway
