Quick post here - yesterday I was part of a group that traveled down to Wapakoneta, Ohio, near the middle of the totality region. Behold, Ohio, and you did look and feel like Ohio. And actually, automobile traffic there was fine. I had read all manner of horror stories and prepared myself for a terrible trip there or, especially, back… maybe our anticipated 7:00 PM return will instead be a 4:00 AM return! Nah, it was an 8:00 PM return with a long rest stop.
There seems to be a sharp gradient for an eclipse between "Oh, it got a little bit darker for a few minutes" and "Wow, who turned out the lights?" For the 2017 eclipse, I was 200 or 250 miles north of totality, and if I hadn't known it was coming, am not sure I would've noticed it happening.

I'm glad you got to see it, David. I wish I had thought in advance to go to Ohio as well, but it didn't occur to me. North Dakota 2044
Sounds like a fun day. Mostly overcast here.
