To those of you in the 100% area - did it get dark, I mean really dark, nighttime dark where the crickets started chirping and the birds went to sleep and the temperatures dropped?

Maybe I was expecting too much, and I DID experience a total eclipse back on the east coast in the early 70's, back when there was no internet and no hype and we looked at it through a box with a hole in it...seriously..no dark glasses (although I did really love being able to look up at it today and see the crescents so clearly). But I really thought it would get darker.
