NASA said that my zip code was 99.1% and it was noticeably darker, much 
like heavy cloud cover from storms despite the clear sky. But it was 
still quite easy to drive or even read by < 1% of sunlight.

I've since read that it needs to be 99.9 ~> 100% to have significant 
impact on the amount of light.

I too have seen and enjoyed the light / shadow effects on the ground 
that others talked about.  I experienced thousands of tiny pinhole 
camera like from trees / bushes / even building awnings during the 2017 
(?) eclipse.
