I went outside with my 3 year old at about 6pm Pacific and there were some patchy clouds and no sign of the moon at all. I don't know if that was because it was the height of the eclipse, or if it was behind one of the clouds or not above the houses yet, but I went out again at about 8pm and there was a big bright full moon. So did I see the eclipse or what?
