Make sure you have food, water, and petrol on hand. Be prepared for high traffic... and some other random stuff I can't remember off the top of my head. The problem? As far as anyone can seem to remember there have never been warnings like this for an eclipse. It's got people wondering why Mr. Gubment chose this time to issue such serious warnings.

I can see how it does kind of make sense. I went to see the last eclipse in The Middle Of Nowhere, Nebraska. Traffic was backed up for miles and miles. The upcoming eclipse will go through a much more densely populated region including several major urban areas.
