Ground Zero here: Central Oregon Coast. It’s already crazy town here. Authorities are predicting loss of cell phone capability, internet, etc. Traffic through the coastal area is along Highway 101 - it’s already a nightmare due to heat wave inland (Salem, Portland, etc.).

I hear you. I'm to your east, in the Cascade foothills, east of Lebanon. I'll be going to my back yard to see the "fun". Ho hum, another decade, another dollar. I was around for the near total eclipse in 1979, 82%. Had to stop work for 15 minutes, it was so dark.

I took my coastal vacation early this year, in July. Lodging and restaurant people in Newport said they were already building the barricades, so to speak, against the expected hordes.
