Welders mask really helps in a solar eclipse. In addition to the paper glasses they sold all over town I had a welding thing from my snazzy harbor freight welder.. Kind of like a welding mask except it's on a stick more or less..
It never got dark at my home but I drove just 20 miles south and it was full eclipse (but for a short time).
We were a tourist hub for a day here.. traffic got really backed up for a single day..
