OT: Are any of you guys in the path of the total eclipse Monday?

[Geezbolt]

I am one of the lucky ones who is and I'm really looking forward to it. Lots of people coming in where I am here in Sun Valley. Our biggest concern is fires caused by people pulling off of the road onto dry grass, not knowing their cars' catalytic converters can quickly ignite the grass. Hoping for the best.

I'm in Memphis. About 94% coverage here.

Have coworkers from all over the country going to Nashville or Charleston. I decided not to since there's another one in 2024 that will be closer to 100% and my youngest child will be old enough to understand -- and not look at it.

i wish. On the positive side we shouldn't have many fires over here...Southern California

Does California get any of the eclipse?

[captaind]

Think so. The partial path is pretty wide.

I'm a mere 30 miles outside the Zone of Totality...but I might as well be 30 LIGHT YEARS away. The roads out of Boise are predicted to be a nightmare, so we've decided to just stay put and enjoy 99.5% totality.

[Bearded14YourPleasure]

Right in the 100% zone and things have already gotten out of hand. 27 mile line of cars yesterday morning, gas stations going dry, people renting out their backyards on airbnb to camp in for $300+/night. Never realized how big a deal this was until the people started pouring in.

So have you made the move, or are you visiting Idaho for now? We are expecting madness here on Monday. Not so much people coming in, but the traffic expected when they start to leave on Monday afternoon. We have a great bike path here in the valley, so I'm riding my bike to work on Monday.

Still just visiting, Geez. We're moving in the Summer of '18. Looking forward to being here. Granddaughter is a dream.

Oh boy .......

I live in Dallas Oregon, a small place outside of Salem and our little town has been smashed by so many people. It's a nightmare to get any where. We are in the zone of totality as well. My daughter and grand kids are coming up from San Diego to be with us. I think it will be great for the kids!
