Nope - last night. I happened to wake up at 4:25, so I stepped outside to take a look. We had clear skies in San Jose, and from the deck outside the house I had an unobstructed view.
Around half an hour later I stepped outside again; by that time the eclipse was total. The moon was still clearly visible, but yellowish. I didn't wait up for the next half hor, so I have no idea how red the moon ended up getting.
