95% Eclipse Coverage, 80% Cloudy
Here in North Carolina we were just north of the Total Solar Eclipse path. We had 95% coverage of the sun by the moon. We also had 80% coverage of the sky by clouds because of a popup thunderstorm that appeared one hour prior to the our closest point to totality.

Here is a quote from Wikipedia on the casualties of battle:
“During the battle, the Confederates suffered a total of nearly 2,600 casualties: 239 killed, 1,694 wounded and 673 missing. About half of the casualties were lost in the Army of Tennessee. The Union army lost 194 killed, 1,112 wounded, and 221 missing, for a total of 1,527 casualties. The wounded were treated at the house of John Harper, with 360 unknown confederates buried in a mass grave next to the Harper family cemetery.”
