It was very cool to experience this. We had slight cloud cover, but it didn't block visibility. We have nearby neighbors who love loud fireworks, so right at totality we got some loud bangs and bright sparkles in the sky. Lots of yelling and screams as well, very much like New Years Eve.
A yard service nearby had gas powered blowers running nearly 45 minutes straight, which they silenced for not quite a minute during totality. Loved hearing the birds, especially the robins, singing like they do at dusk.
