The eclipse passes over New York State, but over Buffalo, not NYC
Still, lots of other areas to see it!

In response to NASA’s report that a total solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024, New York authorities are warning New Yorkers to be prepared.
In a recent press release by the New York state police, officials warned residents to be prepared for cellular disruptions, slow 9/11 response times, gridlocked traffic, and food/water demand during the upcoming total solar eclipse.
Also included in the press release was a list of suggestions calling for residents to stock up on food, water, and fuel.
The warning by New York state police comes as the department looks to learn from their responses to the 2017 solar eclipse.
Per New York State Police:
The New York State Police, in close collaboration with other state, local, and federal law enforcement, emergency services, and transportation agencies, has meticulously developed an emergency operation plan. Our unwavering goal is to provide a comprehensive and uniform presence, ensuring the safety of both visitors and residents as they experience and travel home from the eclipse. Members of the State Police will implement security measures appropriate for large gatherings and take all necessary actions to maintain order and smooth traffic flow.
Building on past experiences, the planning process for this event has been proactive, aiming to address potential impacts within Troop E. Our goal is to minimize any adverse effects associated with the large influx of visitors to the local area. This approach is based on the lessons learned from the 2017 solar eclipse, where some regions experienced a 100 percent increase in their population in the days leading up to and during the eclipse.

Definitely a manufactured crisis.
“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”
Like someone from NYC or NJ is going to drive to Texas to view it!
It may be 100 miles wide but most of that is not a full eclipse.
Be prepared to offer sacrifices to the sun gods. That works every time...the sun always comes back.
Normally tourists stay away from dumps like Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse.
Most of them probably have no idea how hostile the natives are.
Why are we fascinated with eclipses? Yes, it’s cool to see but I certainly won’t go out of my way to see it. Besides, I thought they were more concerned with illegals?!
Way down in the article, a semi-rational explanation.
A LOT of people swallowed the hook!
Some people enjoy watching (relatively) rare astronomical events. If you don't enjoy such things, you can simply go about your day as if they weren't happening.
It may not be over NYC, but if Latisha walks around, her ego may have the same effect.
When I was a kid, we had a total eclipse pass over our house
I still remember how, as it got darker approaching totality, the birds would start their “evening song” routine, thinking it was sunset ... then it was quiet for 1 minute of “night” ... then as it got brighter again, the birds started their “morning song” routine, thinking it was sunrise ... all this, in the middle of the afternoon
A special experience, and the combination of locality and good weather makes them hard to see ... go if you can!
I think the eclipse crosses over Maztalán. Given the choice to watch between Sinaloa & NYC... Mazatlán is safer.
I saw the concerns and they do not match up to many years when solar eclipses happened.
One thing is certain, this hoopla isn’t worth an argument. All over in less than a day. I am sure Joe and the DHS has it all under control:)
I can see that aspect for kids and families, thanks for sharing your memories. I can’t make it, I live in Alaska.
Stupid
???? Exactly! What does a solar eclipse have to do with the grid?
Is that from that caveman TV show?
Apparently NYers are back in the stone ages.

Well, you know, all the solar panels are going to shut down for 5 minutes.
