Let’s talk about the total solar eclipse, which is one month from today.
This is a big deal, no living person in our state has observed one (in Arkansas).
It will be a long time before we see this again here in our state.
This is *NOT* just another eclipse like we’ve observed before. The moon will completely cover the sun (totality).
Much of our state will observe totality, some regions won’t, but you will still see the eclipse.
Totality areas will observe daylight to a dust like darkness in the middle of the day.
Let’s be honest, it’s probably going to be a mad house on April 8th.
I’m not saying this to scare you, but understand thousands and thousands of people will travel here.
Traffic congestion, hotels booked, major tourist influx like we usually wouldn’t observe, etc.
Workplaces are altering hours, schools are closing, etc.
The eclipse itself will last a few hours, but totality will occur from around 1:45 to 2:00 PM from south to north.
Localized areas will observe totality for around 2-4 minutes depending on their location.
You need certified eclipse glasses for this, I’m partnered with The Party Place in Fort Smith & Conway.
They have glasses you can purchase!
Start planning soon and consider adjusting your daily routine for 4-8-24.
It will not be a normal day for some, especially local areas that will observe the totality path.
Praying for gorgeous weather and safe travels to all across our state.
