Thought this was pretty good. Kind of liked the way the topic was approached in this.

The truth is out now. Yes, the eclipse will carve a swath of non-flaming death across the country, turning everyone underneath into a zombie and the plants to ambulatory man-eating carnivores who do not respect pronouns. In large parts of the country, however, that’s pretty much business as usual anyway. Anyone who denies this is one of Them.

Not sure about the eclipse, but we had an unusual Late Freeze over the weekend and it killed most of my garden that I planted 2 weeks ago.

My mom lives in the total eclipse track and has been hyping it for over a year. But that’s just because she is always alert for any excuse to have a family reunion. She has drummed up a fair number of takers from the far reaches of the clan. I refuse to have anything to do with it for the same reason the local public authorities are freaking out. They expect eleventy-seven bazillion sightseers, two thirds of them without food or lodging, out of gas, half of them drunk, and camping out on every scrap of ground not protected by an electric fence. A lot of them will, despite warnings, expect to drive in, see the eclipse, and drive home that night. That’s not going to work.

Probably only if the black-eyed Susans look at it directly.

Gee, I lived through the total eclipse in Oregon some years ago, and nobody had any problems. I don’t know what the big deal is now. The hub-bub seems pretty ridiculous.

We traveled to the People’s Republic of Oregon in 2017 for a total eclipse of the Sun. The Oregon Politburo organized a fun time at the Salem Fairgrounds. As the Moon completely covered most of the Sun, except for the Corona, the temperature immediately dropped significantly.

Also, go look for the shadows on the ground from tree leaves. Either before or after total eclipse, the leaf shadows on the ground show a half crescent. It is remarkable

I am rooting for heavy cloud cover from coast to coast on Eclipse Day. That will kill ALL the gardens!

If you think eclipses are bad for your garden, you ought to see what midnights do to your garden!

"IS THE ECLIPSE GONNA KILL MY GARDEN?"

We now know how low the educational level of a gardener can go. Same goes for a Travis County (TX) judge, who issued a Declaration of Local Disaster for the solar eclipse, which the weather forecasts predict will be concealed by clouds.

Maybe the judge is trying to put law enforcement on alert in case any of the illegal aliens in the area attempt to perform human sacrifice to appease the sun gods.

Short answer; yes.
Famine on global scale from brief solar eclipse. Nothing can stop it.
