During our 3 1/2 minutes, I was surprised that it wasn't totally dark. The sky was still a shade of blue and all around was the sight of what appeared to be sunset or sunrise. Frogs started croaking, roosters roostering and crickets making their noise. Strange indeed.

It got dark here in Ohio. My neighbors sitting in their backyard was only about 50-60 ft away. When it got dark I couldn’t even see them anymore. All the street light came on. Along with dusk to dawn lights.
