Why am I suddenly hearing of planned school closings for that date and counties declaring a state of emergency for April 8th. In the past, schools used the eclipse as a learning module but apparently no more. I'll adjust my tin-foil hat and I start fearing "they" have plans for that date.
It’s gonna be a long eclipse
Can you say manufactured crisis? 🙄
“So, what is up? We have had solar eclipses for centuries and I thought the fears that the world would end as a result was something of the 18th century.

Sounds like you didn’t read your article!
School closings make sense in areas where a high turnout of visitors is expected given the impact on bussing delays.
There’s several total solar eclipses around the World every year
If they disrupted electronics, it would’ve been big news already
This is more needless fear-mongering by a control-obsessed Media, just like Covid was
Ignore, and enjoy your regular lives!
A solar eclipse is not something new, so is someone up to no good with this?
“A solar eclipse is not something new, so is someone up to no good with this?”
Read the article
I did. I still think it is a bunch of nonsense.
His brain had a total eclipse and it never ended.
“the large influx of visitors to the local area”
This is the problem.
I was sure this was from the Bee. “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together...”
Your post does not relate to the concerns stated in the article.
I think the article is trying to say NYC will get extra-crowded by eclipse-seekers flocking in (because NYC is in the eclipse path), and those big crowds will cause all the disruptions ... so I interpreted it wrong in my first response
But, why would people flock to crowded (and pricey) NYC to watch it?
The eclipse path is 2000 miles long and 100 miles wide, so there’s lots of other open, uncrowded, cheaper areas to watch it from
So, the “needless fear-mongering” part stands ...
HUH, the NYS Police are saying this?
I’ve heard the sun has scheduled a MASSIVE CME aimed at earth just when the moon gets in the way.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve heard today. Don’t these idiots understand what a solar eclipse is?
Who wants to travel to a crime ridden city where you know in advance it is going to go dark?
Beats me. I have been through several eclipses. Glanced at them, thought “huh that’s kinda cool,” then went back to school/work (depending on the year). Didn’t notice any significant disruptions.
Just more mass hysteria being fueled by the LSM and libidiot politicians.
