I saw it in MO also but drove 3 hours - the people who stayed put and saw the 99% or whatever, you CANNOT convince them of what the difference is! Oh well.
I did put in some additional prep getting ready for the road trip, in case I was stranded hours on I-44. Kind of like getting ready for a hiking trip instead of a simple drive. It was congested afterward, but moving well thank goodness.

The difference between 99% and Totality is similar to the difference between kissing someone, versus having sex with that someone.

Yes, I’d seen a partial eclipse before, and wasn’t impressed. A small amount of sun makes a big difference. There’s no comparison.
