Guess I was really lucky in DuQuoin, Illinois. We had 2 minutes but farther south near Carbondale was to have 2 minutes 47 seconds or some such. They wound up with about 20 seconds due to cloud cover. We enjoyed the full eclipse, start to finish, with no cloud cover. Absolutely awesome! Cicadas started singing, could see stars, and the clouds around the horizon just glowed. Not totally dark, but kind of a weird dark dusky. Was worth sitting around Winona the Winnebago with friends and family!
Carbondale was predicting record traffic, sold out food and gas, etc. which didn't materialize, maybe too much hype.
What was fun to watch was the traffic on Google Maps. The red lines of congestion followed the path of totality. And yes, we waited till Tuesday to come home.
