Are You Prepared for the Solar Eclipse?

Obviously you aren't.

Who knew a solar eclipse was like preparing for a Hurricane?

I went through the 2017 eclipse. Lasted 3 minutes. It only gets twilight for the 3 minutes. Otherwise just seems not as bright. Never gets dark.

It was spectacular to see but whatever. Certainly not worth the hype, etc.

There is another big asteroid coming our way. The military is getting ready for sending up something to break it up or change the trajectory. This also is a great time for our adversaries to cyber-attack our electrical grid.

They'll do anything to prevent a DJT election...just look at what sparked the COVID outbreak...DJT was up for reelection...

You think China didn't do that on purpose for retaliation for all the smack Trump was talking about China + the tariffs? In conjunction with the USA of course (Fauci-funded Wuhan...how convenient)

Some think I'm joking...I assure I am not

I told you guys more than once that 2024 is going to be wild...here's hoping I'm wrong.

But I don't think I am. These people are not only insane, but they are ruthless.

We are supposed to live in more fear of a Solar Eclipse than we are MS13 and Venezuela gangs running afoot all over the place and 80% of the people that are illegally entering our country are military service aged males.

It is hard to even comprehend as to how anybody can still support this current Administration.

MTO Joe is gonna be here any minute with an article from NBC telling you MS13 are engaged in nothing but charity work and community organizing and they aren't a threat to anyone.

I'm about 150 miles from ground zero north of Austin. Here, it will still be nearly total, but not enough. Suppose to have storms anyway, besides, you'll know full well when it starts because it gets nearly dark if you're in the path. That's pretty cool, watch how the birds and wildlife react...its not time to be dark, wtf?

I was nearly in the center in 2017 and it didn't get close to dark. It was like a dark shadow passing overhead. A total eclipse is only 115 miles wide, so at all points on the horizon, it's bright. Only overhead is the shadow deep enough. Similar in many respects to a very dark thunderhead on top of you but light on the horizon.

It's neat to see but the darkness was the least impressive thing. Very underwhelming from that standpoint. I doubt birds and animals could tell the difference between a stormcloud and an eclipse. One zoo says they are preparing the animals for the eclipse. Those people need medication.

A lot depends on your location. Urban areas obviously won't encounter animals other than their own. Birds seem to react the most. The temperature drops.
Not sure what the 2017 eclipse was like, I was in Europe. My post was to remind that there's more to the event than the eclipse itself. The weather forecast for midday has improved somewhat.
Enjoy!

The temp drop is the same to when a cloud passes in front of the sun. It goes back up immediately. I'm telling you the marvel of seeing an eclipse is spectacular, but none of the side effects are any different than a dark cloud passing overhead, and only for 3 minutes at most. No response from animals. Temp drop is extremely temporary. Doesn't get dark. It gets twilight similarly to a bad storm about to happen.

You'll see.

I agree,they are going to try and stop Trump at any cost! The Globalists,the far left Democrats, the Squad,Obama the puppet master do not want to loose the election. The Democrats want total control and want to pack the court. You can see what happens if you question a stolen election, you end up in jail! Ask all Trump Lawyers fighting indictments against them. As well as Donald Trump fighting every indictment thrown at him. Because they do not want him to win! The January 6 protesters were thrown in jail for a little bit of an uprising. And the BLM rioters Beat Police and innocent people, destroyed businesses by looting and burn down cities, and got no jail time whatsoever! The were basically allowed in in some area’s that day. If you seen the video and documentary they were basically allowed in by DC police and Capital police to the Capital building. Trump requested 10,000 National Guard a few days earlier,before his speech Nancy Pelosi denied it. Total setup, because 99% of Trump supporters are patriots, hard workers and peaceful,would never do that. There were some influencers mixed in the crowd and antagonizing people. There were also FBI and antifa mixed in the crowd as well. Once inside the Capital, they were very peaceful. They were walked around by capital police and still remain peaceful . And also,China and Mexico do not want Trump. They are making way too much money with him being out of the Office. We are totally screwed with that open border,over 50,000 military aged Chinese have crossed the border in the last four months. They are here for a reason. China wants to take Taiwan and they will not be able to do that with Trump in office! I agree that there’s something gonna happen to stop this election whether it’s bird flu or terrorist attacks by Chinese or others, Yes, it’s inevitable! This is the most important election of our lifetime for conservative Republicans non-conservatives. If they lose this election to the Democrats, we will become a socialist, Marxist country! No doubt in my mind,we are going in that direction now! America would be finished! You can see it! There’s no control in the open border right now and it’s costing us billions of taxpayer dollars! All of us are paying for these freeloaders that keep coming to this country! If you want to here,do it the the legal way! There is nothing good that Joe Biden has done in 3 1/2 years. Every policy is a disaster. He reversed everything Trump did. We have two wars going on, it’s costing us billions in tax payer dollars! Inflation is through the roof because we are not energy independent! The open border is killing us! The New Green deal is a disaster! Electric vehicles will take 30 years to put everything in place for this to work, because no one can handle the electric that needs to keep these vehicles running smooth for a car nobody wants! God bless the USA!
