The Solar Eclipse is almost here in the great state of Texas.

Preparations are in either still in motion, or fully completed. Many are excited for the moment, but there is still a lot that Texas itself has to brace itself for. We've already seen counties declare a state of emergency for the day in question.

Jones Told Newsweek that Texans should visit "the stores and gas stations in advance to simply reduce traffic flow the day of the event and manage individuals' expectations that we will have a few more visitors in our county than normal."

He further stated 'I always encourage [people] to keep your fuel tanks filled [half] tank or better as a standard practice." Travis and Kendall County in Texas have also put out disaster declarations for the day in question.

As always, remember to be ready for the big event Texas!
