This is getting wild. The National Guard is going to be here now for the solar eclipse. This article today was released in an Oklahoma newspaper saying that they will have guardsmen present in McCurton county for the solar eclipse. But things get much weirder. The 22 members of an elite chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear unit will be housed in Broken Bow, in addition to 110 to 150 Oklahoma highway patrol troopers.
They’re also urging residents to stock up with one to two weeks of food in advance of the event and to have full fuel tanks. They’re also saying that it’s likely that communication facilities could be overloaded, possibly making it difficult to make cell phone calls. Similar warnings are going out in different states, including Noblesville Fire Department in Texas, and apparently schools are canceled this day. And people are going on Twitter writing statements like this.
Something strange is definitely happening. My kids in three different schools all got notices that school will be closed that day. What do you know about this solar eclipse? As always, let me know what you think about all of this down below. .
