Yup - trying to watch on my tablet from my hotel room in Rome and the feed went to blank screen 5 seconds after first totality. I imagine its all archived later - but wanted to watch live
EDIT: Caught some of the other events in the totality chain when the servers settled down!

My area is at about 40% obscuration, going to 73.9% in about 1/2 an hour.

They are still more interested in showing talking heads over the actual event with a camera staying on it.

In Denver area I watched my solar panel production drop to 130 watts with about 92% of the sun eclipsed. Normal for time of day is over 4000 watts.

Very eerie feel right now as ambient light diminishes. I will use these posts as place fillers for my pics. I'm using an #18 Welders filter. About 9 minutes to my max obscuration.
Added 2017 August 2017 and 2024 total solar eclipses for North America

This is the high point for Ottawa. 2:39 PM EDT.
Outside looks a little bit dim or "unnatural".

Even 95% in Fayetteville, NC was cool!
Looked with a coworker's eclipse glasses right near peak. Just this tiny sliver of light right at the top. What was weird to my senses was the over-all dimness without the long shadows my mind always wants to associate with those light levels.
A truly neat and unique experience. I do wish I could have gotten off work to travel to an area of totality, though.
