A picture is worth a thousand words.
 
Yes, the eclipse bit into our panel's bell curve too. It was foggy here right before so our curve looks more chopped at the beginning of the day.

On eclipse day there were a few clouds here. Our house is smack dab in the middle of the totality zone. We got 2.5 full minutes of totality. Totally cloudless for the eclipse itself. It was AWESOME! Glad the boys got to experience it. Hopefully the older boy is old enough (5y/o) to remember it for the rest of his life.
