Yeah, clouds obscured my view at first, so I've been watching a live stream on a NASA website for hours now (and still am, at this moment).
However, I decided to be prepared anyway, so I took out my binoculars with plans to project an image of the Sun onto a sheet of white cardboard I found in my closet (covering one of the lenses of the binoculars so I would have only one projection to worry about). At about 7pm EDT (about one hour after the transit began), the clouds cleared enough that I was able to successfully see the tiny disk of Venus on the face of the Sun. I showed it off to the rest of my family, including my grandparents who happened to be visiting today, and my brother made two brief videos with his smartphone. (I had asked him to take a picture, but the projection was wobbling constantly due to the fact that I was holding up my binoculars with my own hands, so he decided to make a short video instead.)
Due to the weather forecast, I was afraid I would miss the whole event, but I'm very glad the clouds cleared just long enough for me to see it before sunset. I'm going to be remembering this day for a very long time.
