I waited weeks for it, researched were best to go outside Chicago and was anxiosuly waiting to leave on a two hour trek to join a farm party from the Adler Planetrium. then bam, about 7pm in rolls the fog blanketed by extreme clouds everywhere and I was so disappointed I could cry at this lost chance of a lifetime.
By the way I have family minutes from mount Wilson! Those lucky gazsers ;(
In Lake County we had the fog, but I was still able to see a few meteors. About 20-30 in an hours time.
