Just saw it in New Orleans on the levee in Algiers Point.
Sun was just about to set and was obscured by distant thunderheads.
As it was just about to disappear below the horizon, it cleared bright red and was able to observe the disc of Venus for about 2 minutes thanks to an intense amateur astronomer who was hanging at the local bar and set up his reflecting telescope on the levee.
Proud to be one of the .00000000000000001% of humans to see such an awesome sight.
Beer in hand.
Unfortunately it was overcast in Central VA. :(
