I heard that it has to be around 95% before you really notice it getting darker. I looked through a welding mask too then went over my mom's house and showed her. It was somewhere around 1/2 coverage by then. She's suffering from dementia and can't remember much of anything. She didn't know even what an eclipse was and said she never heard of one. I think that's her last eclipse.
