Arkansas declares state of emergency!

[250bassFL]

That's funny.

[BooneFish]

There's a little festival on our town square tomorrow and there will be a Pink Floyd tribute band performing. I guess I'll walk over there, check out the music and have a beer.

[alanhore]

Cellular systems will be overloaded in places, making them unusable. That's an emergency in itself.

Yeah what did people ever do before they spent half their waking hours starring at one of those devices.

My county in Texas declared an “emergency” over a month ago. I asked the emergency manager, how & why? He says, “you know $$$”. Our schools are closed, half the banks are closed, county offices are closed. It’s a damn debacle.

[alanhore]

LOL, yeah it's a dangerous world out there.

Some people wont get a wink of sleep.

It’s ALWAYS, always about the money. What exactly is supposed to take place in a SOE that’s not already in place? I would love to see how the states do their accounting and see the frickery that takes place with OUR money.

My mom made me laugh by saying "this is a solar eclipse but people are acting like it's a UFO landing".

[Jasonrs]

It probably frees up some tax money the crooks can spend?

The real reason

[Quillback]

Already heard a warning on the CBS national news that people should not wear their eclipse glasses while driving.

Sheesh, I had planned on driving around all day wearing mine.

They're expecting traffic jams up here in Maine. One town of about 2500 is expected to have 10K swarm to it today.

[geodebasser]

They will never find a virgin in Arkansas to throw into the Volcano and make the sun come back.

Where will they find a Virgin in Arkansa? Good luck with that?

[Bass in the grass]

If this thing is a flop and no areas are overwhelmed, I’ll never believe a thing the media tells us again. They are already about 50/50 on most stuff.

[ram1076]

If you think I'm a flat Earther because I dislike the unnecessary drama then you really are missing the point.

The fear mongering and hyperbole has been insane. Again it's just an eclipse. They couldn't just report it without the sensationlism.

Exactly!!

Hey, we still have ugly Third graders!

[Cestratton]

Unreal the amount of Texas and Oklahoma tags on Subarus, 4runners, crossovers, etc. I met between 6:30 and 7:45 on my way to Springdale. Most all had their mountain bikes attached to the ride somehow.

I wonder how many Idiots will be in emergency rooms or at eye doctors because they were looking at the sun for 2 hours. This one is not even worth shaking your head at it is so stupid. CJ

[CJ1]

Don't let your pets outside it may melt there eyeballs, it has amazed me how stupid people has gotten.

No, a animal is smart enough not to stare at the sun!! People, as most of us on here, well not so much! CJ

Texas estimates getting 1M visitors for the eclipse out of the 4M estimated to be traveling to view it somewhere.
