“The Oklahoma National Guard will have guardsmen present for the total solar eclipse on April 8

22 members of an elite Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear unit will be housed

Residents are being urged to stock up with one to two weeks of food in advance of the event

Communication facilities could become overloaded, possibly making cellphone calls difficult”

Sounds a bit overkill for “just an eclipse,” right?

Reminder that Monroe County Indiana and the state of Arkansas telling its residents to “stock up” for the Eclipse in April

Buffalo’s local news is running segments on how to prepare for the eclipse with the City’s emergency manager

Schools nationwide are closing for the eclipse

Canadian schools are even closing because of “traffic”

Texas has issued declarations to arrange emergency assistance (to up emergency resources)

Nothing of this nature happened in 2017

Makes you wonder
