So what? You don’t need cell service to observe the eclipse.
To: BenLurkin
I’m seriously considering being in downtown Asheville, NC for totality, it should be an adventure worthy of National Geographic with all the wiccan wackadoodles doing their thing.

We are driving 4 hours to Kentucky to see the total eclips.

“You dont need cell service to observe the eclipse.”
For many these days, if you’re not streaming it, it’s like it never happened.

rural cellphone service is already spotty WITHOUT eclipse-watchers, at least it is for pretty much for every area of the Rocky Mountain states not in an actual urban area.

To observe it, of course not, but I'm depending on access for satellite and weather forecasts to know where I need to move to in case I have less than good conditions across Nebraska where I'm going to be.

I thought they were going to watch the eclipse, not play candy crush.

I have a home in West Kentucky and now people are wanting to rent a room as all the hotels have been full for years.

Getting a room is pretty much out of the question down here but it’s within a day’s drive up and back. We’ll be just getting back from the OBX but I think I’ll keep the rented Yukon for a couple more days and we’ll make a run up there.
To: BenLurkin
We saw the one in Hawaii. Get to high ground if you can; the beaches were fogged in but we were up on the mesa. It was amazing to see - get there if you can.

I just noticed that the lengthiest period of totality is over the New Madrid fault and it gave me a chill. Stupid, I know, but it did.
To: RegulatorCountry
Yep, the New Madrid fault is a part of the coverage area.

Ben, long time admirer. I’m taking a 700 mile road trip to the Tennessee/North Carolina border to watch this momentous event. Nothing but 100% total blackout will do.
