The sky is falling... The sky is falling...
On Monday, April 8th, there will be a narrow path total eclipse that will skirt diagonally from part of Mexico, across America into Canada. The longest duration of this eclipse is about FOUR MINUTES and TWENTY EIGHT SECONDS, so if you are planning to travel across the country to be in the path to view this event, my best guess is you should already have arrived at a hotel, unpacked your viewing glasses and having dinner.Tomorrow could be a hectic day as Arkansas Governor, Sarah Huckabee has declared a state of emergency ahead of the eclipse. She's released $100,000 from the Response and Recovery Fund to help commercial carriers transport essentials to customers in the state during the eclipse.
The state emergency will remain in effect until April 10.
Many of the comments that I've read think that Huckabee over reacted, maybe referencing the Chicken Little / Henny Penny fable where the sky is falling.
Sara, it's just like night-time but, only 4 minutes in duration. Call off the National Guard, there's no need for the villagers to huddle in caves like they did a thousand years ago!

Expecting as many as 50,000 to watch this event, I said it's about the same as an outdoor rock concert!
I expect to look out and see at least 20 people in my yard.
Hopefully they won't bring there lawn chairs....
then they expect refreshments ...lol
My neighbors 8 kids standing in a row on the side walk with there little glasses on.
When we got the full eclipse 5 of them ran in the house, the little ones..probably thought they missed bed time...lol
holy crap ..it hit my brain.
It got dark which caused the night lights to come on.
It was a great experience. WOW.
Follow this link and you will see children who were delighted to be part of 'eclipse fever' that they will remember for the rest of their lives!
Rapture
The feeling the rest of the world has when all the self-righteous, religious fundamentalists disappear off the face of the earth at the same time.
"Holy shit, it's the Rapture! They're all gone! Let's party."
