Yes, it should be. I live in the path of totality and they have closed the shop for that day so it should be a good show, albeit short. They are predicting about 500,000 extra people in the area because of our location. We only have a population of 150,000 covering central Oregon's three big counties, so that will effectively triple it. The stores are already having issues keeping things in stock. The traffic is projected to be a nightmare. The main highways going through here are two lane with an occasional passing lane. Nothing built for big city traffic. I imagine it will be rush hour 24/7 for about a week.
