I was at work just east of Nashville and it was amazing. The clouds might have gotten in the way a little downtown, but east of town, there was not a cloud in sight. My friends in the southern edge of the city had a great view as well. It was truly a spectacle that I will never forget. 360 degree sunset, dark at 1:30, etc. I was with my students at a high school and the sound of hundreds of normally jaded teenagers being simultaneously awestruck was very memorable.

That being said, it took me an hour to get home from work as the freeways heading north and south from downtown Nashville were jammed. Surface streets that are usually packed were pretty wide open though, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
