I got up but the moon was already behind the trees, so I didn't see it. Maybe next time.

I didn't see the eclipse, but the full moon was beautiful.

I was driving into work at the tail end of it, so it was still a little reddish... And by the time I arrived at work, a sliver of the moon was getting out of Earth's shadow and was bright once again.

A "Blood Moon" is just a lunar eclipse caused by the Earth's shadow / umbra falling across the moon causing it to have a reddish appearance, hence where the name came from. Since the moon was so low in the horizon this time, it made the blood moon appear extra large... Perfect as we get closer to Halloween!

lol.  No.  NASA had pictures on the internet.  I am surrounded by trees and I do not see that time of morning willingly.

I'm not usually up at that hour and we've been having storms roll through since mid-week.

Oh yes, I saw it for the first time in my life, I was awake early that day like 5:30 am and there...the moon appeared through my window curtains, red like blood red. It was a phenomena to remember all the life.  Once there was a solar eclipse which I didnt see as they say its not good to see a solar eclipse
