Absolutely ridiculous
Very few people actually read the article, it plainly says the population of these area’s will increase by up to 100%. So its not the eclipse its the influx of lots of people causing traffic jams, power usage etc.
We already have a “large influx of visitors” to local areas and it’s not confined to New York. How about millions of “visitors” coming in unchecked and wreaking havoc. Nothing to do with the sun or the moon.
Where does NY get these people?
Oh good grief.
I did such.
The warnings to prep for April 8, appear to be for the stupidity of human behavior noted to be localized for the New York City area natives only.
Schools in Michigan are closing early due yo the eclipse. I think they assume everyone will be trying to see the sky and not working. If my memory is correct they closed early when I was a kid in the 60s/70s (not dure), too.
That is a real temptation! LOL

Interesting, I went to Mazatlan to see the 1991 total solar eclipse in July. Got cloudy at the last minute. I was in my MI hometown for the 1994 annular solar eclipse which was kind of cool.
The diminished light during an eclipse looks a lot different than clouds or dusk, everything is brilliantly crisp but darker.
My brother has manufactured solar eclipse filters for almost 40 years. He is operating 24/7 and can’t wait for this to end. He turned me into the science nerd that I am, being 9 years older he got me into astronomy and photography before I was 10.
He can predict trends in his industry tens of thousands of years in the future.

The dragon monster will try to eat the moon. Drink lots of water.
Look at the map upthread.
The eclipse will be going over northern New York State—hundreds of miles from New York City.
The biggest problems come when idiots from metro New York City clog the highways going upstate.
I will be flying my Lear Jet to Nova Scotia that day. I know what you’re thinking.
I think kids at home are in greater danger of injuring their eyes. Many not really supervised so looking at eclipse w/o protective lenses.
That’s a good question.
The eclipse is a predictable event that can be scheduled around.
That’s the path of totality.
Most of the 48 contiguous might get enough if a partial to affect solar production.
But that is predictable and can be figured in.
Unless something else happens.
Calling it "providing security for the solar eclipse" will allay any civilian concerns about what is in fact an opportunity to run another quasi military exercise for urban warfare on American soil and acclimate Americans to the coming military law.
