Video of Rural Illinois Backroad After 2017 Eclipse is Proof Indiana Needs to Prepare for April 8th
If you think that the media is over-hyping the emergency situation that Southern Indiana could be in during and after the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, I have a video that you need to see.
Post-Eclipse Traffic 2017
My friend shared a video of the traffic chaos that occurred after the 2017 eclipse around the path of totality. This was in the area of Norris City, IL and Eldorado, IL.
Is your business open on April 8th?Just spoke to a solar eclipse guru and someone I trust my own life with and he advises that it’s not a scare tactic and to have 2-3 days worth of gas in your car if your living here in this area where gas shortages can take place. Where will you be viewing the Eclipse from???This video was filmed in 2017 on a rural route in IL.
Are We Really Ready for This?
Evansville, Indiana has a population of around 120,000, and the area is expected to have 80,000 people staying in the city for The Great American Eclipse. Like many other states in the path of totality, Indiana is now under a State of Emergency for this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Indiana Declares State of Emergency Effective Immediately
Governor Eric J. Holcomb signed an executive order to support the anticipated needs of Indiana’s emergency response, transportation, communication and critical infrastructure systems due to the expected high-number of visitors traveling to the state to view the total solar eclipse. The executive order will allow Indiana to utilize resources from other states who are members of the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). Once a governor issues an order, EMAC members can and will share equipment and communications systems to help support state resources to ensure the safety, care and welfare of residents if an emergency event occurs due to such a large event.
