Are You Prepared For The Solar Eclipse?
It has been 38 years since the last solar eclipse was seen in the United States and 99 years since the path crossed the entire continental United States.
Many people from all over the US are heading towards the path of totality, from Oregon, through 14 states, ending in South Carolina. Getting a chance to witness this once in a lifetime event has made this one of the busiest travel days of the year.
