Though come to think of it, I might never have seen an eclipse myself, or if so YEARS ago when I was young (you referenced one in 1979, maybe I saw that one). I actually wonder if it's like tornados, that we simply don't see them this far north? Really, it's just that it seems like I'm hearing a bigger deal here than makes sense. Cool experience if you can get it, but that's it. :) "Weird", no, completely normal and expected. Hell, this discussion only can exist because it's predicted. "Uncommon", certainly not. A Google search I did just now to try to see if there were any I might have seen led to a page about eclipses visible in Canada in the 20th century, which says there were something like 270. That's approaching an average of 3 per year, just from Canada, while this one seems like it won't even partially be visible to my area. "Unheard Of", definitely not. It would take an incredibly sheltered life to have not heard of eclipses, to know what they are. Sheltered with irresponsible parents. So I stand by that statement. :) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 06:32, 18 August 2017 (UTC)</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #e6e6e6; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #e6e6e6; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #e6e6e6; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>[http://kron4.com/2017/08/14/eclipse-traffic-jam-may-be-greatest-in-oregon-history/ Eclipse may cause greatest traffic jam in Oregon history.]  [http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article166570472.html A million out-of-state travelers expected to pack Missouri roads for solar eclipse.]  [http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/08/solar_eclipse_2017_how_to_driv.html Solar eclipse 2017: How to drive during Aug. 21 eclipse.]  [http://www.ajc.com/lifestyles/north-georgia-towns-brace-for-huge-crowds-for-solar-eclipse/1CNySlBBpxuN9VQKXAzTlJ/ North Georgia towns brace for huge crowds for eclipse.]  There has been a lot of online activity related to the eclipse in the past few weeks.
