"Texas Communities Declare Disaster Ahead of Great North American Eclipse"

Several Texas communities have issued disaster declarations ahead of the Great North American Eclipse on April 8, as they anticipate a surge in visitors seeking the best view of the celestial event. The path of totality, where the Moon will completely block the Sun, will pass through Central Texas, leading to concerns about extreme traffic congestion, strain on infrastructure, and demands for food and fuel supplies. Spectators are advised to wear specialized safety glasses to protect their eyes during the eclipse, and residents are urged to prepare for the event as they would for a natural disaster. If missed, the next total solar eclipse of this magnitude won't occur until 2045.
