I live in the path of totality and the local tourism office is projecting anywhere from 70K to half a million visitors. It’s insane! Also, I read Niagara Falls, which is obviously used to seeing a lot of tourists, has nevertheless declared a preemptive state of emergency. And there are advisories to be very careful if you’re driving on highways at the time of totality, as there will inevitably be idiots who stop suddenly to gawk and burn out their eyeballs.
Mind you, it could all be a bust given the current weather forecast is for Monday to be cloudy across the whole region. I guess it’ll still be cool to see everything go dark for a few minutes though.
