Nothing but clouds here, so guess not.

See you on the Dark Side......
Likewise - guess it will just get dark for a while.. shame really but we were only getting a partial one here
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
I was in Cornwall for the last full eclipse here - typically it clouded over and we saw naff all but it did go dark, street lights came on, birds landed & looked confused. Same happened with the last partial but I just managed to see it through the clouds.

Didn't notice anything unusual down here in the Southern Hemisphere!
We had 99% in Portland but it didn't get too dark.
About like an hour before dusk.
Automated lights turned on.

Just sat in the house and saw that the light had changed a bit almost like sundown.
All,
If you go to this site, you can plug in different locations an see a simulation of the eclipse. It's pretty cool.
www.timeanddate.com - Solar Eclipse - 21 August 2017
On the right side of the page, there is a place to type in a city/location. I tried a few places, like: Bend and Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Victoria, BC; and Comox, BC. The simulation shows how dark the sky got in these different locations. Considering that Seattle was at 93%, the simulator appears to show only a twilight effect. Portland at 99% appears completely dark. Comox wasn't really dark at 87%, at least to me. The crickets and birds thought differently.
PS: Salem, Oregon 1.0% eclipse!

Mostly clear here in Detroit...went out and looked when I was feeding the outdoor cats but did not have a screen so did not risk looking at it more then a sec.
I was in the middle of Nebraska -- literally.
Fun fact: A sufficiently-leafy tree's shadow will serve as a bunch of pinhole-cameras.
