We were in NE Dallas. On Saturday I gave a talk at the local library for 120 people, then we set up telescopes that evening in the field next to the city buildings. Final count that night was 565 visitors. It was overwhelming!

The sky on Monday went from 80% light clouds to 80% clear to 100% heavy clouds, to 75% clouds during the incoming half of the eclipse. Good views between clouds with the scope I brought out. There were 15 or so groups of people around us, I finally had to yell "yes, you can come look through it", they all wanted to but no one wanted to be that first pushy person to ask.

Clouds covered totality for the first minute, but we got a hole after that to third contact. Then, the skies almost completely cleared between third and fourth contact, probably because of the temperature cycle from the eclipse itself (they create weather patterns).

Not my best, but worked out just fine. The cloud cover stopped the sunlight that normally gets through on the horizon outside of the shadow from getting in, so it was VERY dark during totality, way darker than the last 2.
