[MCARC] Solar eclipse path on August 21

[Nate Bargmann]

Lucky for us, northern Marshall and northeast Washington counties are in
the path of totality:

You'll have to zoom in to our area.  Be aware that this is an estimate
and the actual path could vary a half mile or so either way.

Talking to Shawn, KC0SWG, in Beatrice yesterday and he said that
Beatrice is warning residents to stock up on food and necessities this
coming week and advises against travel on the 21st!  You'd think it was
a hurricane or blizzard coming to the area.  Nebraska estimates nearly a
half million people will travel to the state for the eclipse.

I was able to get some eye protection at Walmart in Fairbury this past
week.  Matt says Marysville Walmart is sold out and won't be getting any
more and ordered some from Idnetiteez (sp?) that should be in this
coming week.  How many extra they'll have, I don't know.

73, Nate
