Totality or Bust!

Totality or bust! It’s a catching saying, but there are some hazards that can cause your solar eclipse viewing party to go bust. Drivers should plan to arrive early and stay late and park their vehicles in safe, approved areas. You shouldn’t try to view the solar eclipse while driving because it’s not safe to wear the eclipse glasses while driving, and driving while distracted can lead to dire consequence in terms of vehicle mishaps, as well as collisions with pedestrians. Also beware that communication infrastructure gets stressed when areas get overcrowded, which can disrupt your phone service. Wildlife encounters, sunburn and dehydration are a few other risks that can crash the party.

Solar Eclipse Viewing Party

Spectators must wear approved “eclipse glasses” while viewing the solar eclipse to avoid permanently injuring their eyes. There is only one safe way to look directly at the sun, whether during an eclipse or not: through special-purpose solar filters, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. These solar filters are used in eclipse glasses or in hand-held solar viewers. They must meet a very specific worldwide standard known as ISO 12312-2.

Path of Totality

This graphic shows the path of totality for the April 8, 2024, solar eclipse. An estimated 32 million people reside along this path, with millions more expected to pour into the area to view the apocalyptic event. This is sure to cause severe traffic congestion and increased road hazards to drivers and their occupants, as well as pedestrians. The congestion can also lead to a high number of cell phones in any single geographic area, which can overwhelm cellular infrastructure and disrupt communication.
