I hope so Nunol,

I've seen a few but tonight's weather is part cloudy so fingers crossed for a clear sky :)

Watched the Google live feed and it was breathtaking.

So did I! Very nice but no color...

Went to a hill near by with my scooter, took a small telescope and the binos and use the scooter as the tripod.

I live in Australia, so it was yesterday evening for me. About 25 hours before I post this, actually. Unfortunately I didn't see it; I was too busy watching State of Origin with my firends. (NSW won for the first time in 6 years, 3 games each year, by 18 points to QLD's 8 points. It's weird because New South Wales' team kinda sucks real bad)
