Was the eclipse ‘a lot of hullabaloo’? Readers weigh in on the experience

What a lot of hullabaloo about the eclipse. The media had been banging on about how to watch it and when it would be in your area. So at the point of its (supposed) occurrence at 7.13pm, I watched from the garden for nearly ten minutes, just to see a similar skyline to that which occurred at 5.15am – sunrise – and nowhere near the darkness predicted.
