Is that it? I expected an amazing spectacular life changing experience. 30 secs of darkness and then back to normal.

30 seconds? Sounds like you were probably just on the edge of the path of totality. The corridor is only 70 miles wide - had you moved maybe 20 miles or so towards the centre of the path you would have got over 2 minutes.

It is an amazing, spectacular experience, but it sounds like you were in the wrong place and probably didn't even look up to see totality in all it's awesomeness. Do yourself a favour and get under the path next time the opportunity presents itself.
