The difference between 99% and totality is literally like between night and day

NASA said that my zip code was 99.1% and it was noticeably darker, much like heavy cloud cover from storms despite the clear sky. But it was still quite easy to drive or even read by < 1% of sunlight.
I've since read that it needs to be 99.9 ~> 100% to have significant impact on the amount of light.
I too have seen and enjoyed the light / shadow effects on the ground that others talked about.  I experienced thousands of tiny pinhole camera like from trees / bushes / even building awnings during the 2017 (?) eclipse.
