I live in Dallas TX and this is the first total eclipse i remember. When totality got closer my shadow on the ground become strange, i can't put my finger on it but something about my shadow seemed different. The last minute or so increased the darkness very fast, it got wayyy darker than i was expecting. The streetlights came on, all my neighbor's porch lights came on, and I could see a star/planet next to the sun.
