It was cool, I’m at Harrah’s in Cherokee. Very surreal, dark as night and the corona was weird, bright red spot on the upper right but generally white fading out almost misty looking, there were two spikes like wings on either side. Live band, pretty decent actually, they broke into Black Hole Sun just as totality arrived and the large crowd gathered cheered and roared. When it started coming back the light was like nothing so much as an arc welder. Very piercing.
OMG that sounds awesome!
