What even is their excuse for this anyway?

ouldn't tell if the sun was out or if it was just the clouds
Same. I avoided pointing my eyes to the sky, since the sun was near the middle of it. This resulted in a lot of uncertainty. But I used a ghetto pin-hole projector to see a tiny bit of eclipse and kept track of the different phases. That was my first time ever doing that, so I guess it was a unique enough experience for me.

You could barely tell anything happened in Houston. The temperature dropped like half a degree, that was it.
I felt this as well, and at this moment the sun was still shining but the light was duller. I guess that was supposed to be the pivotal phase for my area.
 
I'd seen a partial eclipse long ago, and while it was cool, it wasn't mind-blowing. Seeing totality? THAT was mind-blowing. I don't thinkI've ever felt such an overwhelming sense of awe in my life.

A++, would view again, will travel to Dallas for in 2024.

The only downside is the traffic headed home. it's taken me seven hours to go 200 miles, and I'm nowhere near home. I'll probably have to sleep at a rest stop for a while, and will get home much later than I planned on. The cats are sure to be displeased, and demand food the moment I stagger in the door.
 
My house is literally right on the path, so it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Saw a partial eclipse many years ago and this blew it away. I had darkness for 2 minutes and 20 seconds. I could see Venus and Sirius. Friggin' awesome, I was speechless.
 
The last time there was some kind of solar eclipse in my country, it was a cloudy day and I guess that it wasn't even a total one.
