All these people are going to be creating congestion in my city to look at dark clouds. Wow.
Niagara falls in Canada already declared a state of emergency and Kingston is expecting to see 3x the normal population visit during the eclipse. It's going to be absolutely nuts and I feel for anyone living in a city like that.
I just left Niagara falls a few days ago and they are erecting barricades like they're prepping for Canada to invade lol
Yeah, it's going to be a mess. I'm really not looking forward to Monday.
It's always a shit show. I drove to S Illinois in 2017. 6 hour drive in, 17 hour drive home I hated it. But worth it.
My experience wasn't quite that bad, but still sucked. It took about 4.5 hours to get to my perfect spot. I left within an hour or two after the eclipse was over, and then it something like 8+ hours to get home due to excessive traffic.
It wouldn't have changed my choice, but I would have appreciated a warning that post-eclipse traffic could/would be extreme because it wasn't something I had even thought about. Figured it might be a little heavier, but wasn't expecting that much.
So this time around, I've mentioned it to folks who are planning to travel to see it.
