Multiple regions across the US declared a state of emergency in preparation for the solar eclipse that will transverse the continental US on April 8. While Monday’s eclipse will be at least partially visible throughout all 48 contiguous states, officials are concerned that tourists will flood areas where the totality can be viewed. The path of totality-where the moon completely blocks the face of the sun – begins in Texas and heads in a narrow band up toward the Northeast, stretching across portions of 13 US states and parts of Canada and Mexico.
There will not be another visible total solar eclipse in the contiguous U.S. for another two decades, until 2044, according to NASA.
Many of the regions are expecting record numbers of visitors on the day of the eclipse.
In New York, Officials in Essex County declared a state of emergency Wednesday to run from April 6-10, according to NBC affiliate WPTZ. Oswego County, New York made a similar announcement, according to WSYR.
Officials in Kaufman, Bell, Kerr, Coryell, Gatesville, and Travis counties in Texas announced that a state of emergency will begin on April 5 and go through April 9.
Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb issued a state of emergency declaration on March 26, effective until 11:59 p.m. on April 9
The panic has even spread to Canada. Ontario’s Niagara Region has declared a preemptive state of emergency.
Generally, a state of emergency gives the government the authority to do whatever is necessary for the safety of people and the protection of property. Typical actions can include restricting movements, shutting down traffic routes, suspending regulations to expedite response, and creating new emergency legal sanctions.

Yeah but maybe this time the sun won’t come back.
/s
If I can find it I plan to watch the old episode of ‘Our Gang’ the one with the camp meeting During a ecipces.
Wrong. You haven’t been, obviously.
We went through the same hysterical bs a few years ago in idaho. It lasted 5 minutes or so and everyone went home. BS of the highest order. People and dodo birds, dumbest animals on the planet.
Emergency about the solar eclipse?
Wait until a lunar eclipse occurs. That would be a real emergency.
I don’t remember this lunacy in 2017...
I’m thinking the same thing. What year was it, some 5-7 years ago? I don’t remember all this hysteria.
I guess I should start triggering already.
But it’s for the children.
I went to Goldendale Washington in 1986 for a total eclipse.
It was a party atmosphere with sellers of hi vis orange and lime t shirts etc.
I probably still have my “Canned Dark” can around here somewhere.
>It’s a crisis! Without the sun we will freeze to death!<
Well. they’re trying to eliminate the sun so get your woollies back out!
Remember back in the day when we could all go outside and watch an eclipse without it being a national emergency? Pepperidge Farms remembers…. People are pathetic.
The authorities who issued the decree to dance the COVID dance want to see if the public will still dance on command.
Very goofy. The obsession you have is unhealthy.
Here is SW Arkansas it is absolute eclipse mania. The local Emergency official earlier this week said people should prepare like we are going to have an ice storm. That is three or four day of food and water at hand and toilet paper.
The idea I got was that the Emergency people are expecting a cataclysmic traffic jam from all the visitors that it will take days to untangle and block all the delivery trucks from Texarkana, Shreveport, and Little Rock.
People are just going crazy.
Ridiculous
Watching the ecipces you must have government issued permits or you WILL arrested for Insurrection!
Millions blinded by staring at the sum, millions more confused by darkness. It will be true Armageddon.
More terrible results of climate change .
“Do we have any bow hunters here? You’ll need to prepare flaming arrows to shoot at the sky to reignite the sun!
It’s a crisis! Without the sun we will freeze to death!”
I was thinking today I’m pretty sure we need to throw a virgin into the volcano to solve this problem.
