The Solar Eclipse: What to Expect and How to Prepare
Listen now
Description
The solar eclipse path-of-totality spans from Eagle Pass, TX to Maine. Jacki shares how to prepare and what to expect based on The Jacki Daily Show four-state tour of the last major U.S. eclipse in 2017: purple skies, the insects and birds go quiet, and more.  Jacki urges listeners to BE VERY CAREFUL about where you buy your eclipse goggles. Only trust your eyesight to goggles manufactured by companies and from countries whose standards you trust.  Texas projects the eclipse will block between 83-99% of the sun’s rays that power the state’s solar energy, a real problem now that Texas has 20 times as much dependency on solar than the state did during the 2017 eclipse.  Jammed cellular signals are possible, and government actors are calling out National Guard and Coast Guard...for some reason.  Path-of-totality cities could see their populations triple; As all Jacki Daily Show listeners know already, you should always keep topped-off fuels tanks.
