<p class="MsoNormal">FWIW, my wife and I drove down to the zone of totality in Tennessee in 2017 and it was not at all crazy in my experience. We viewed the event on the grounds of a smallish college campus and the hotel we stayed at the night before was very
close by. If the folks driving inbound that afternoon encountered crazy traffic, we did not hear about it, nor did we encounter anything more than typical late afternoon traffic when we headed toward home afterward. I encountered far worse traffic driving
home through Akron last night due to an accident.<o:p></o:p></p>

in Lorain County.. it really opened my eyes to the extent of what we may be expecting.. I took this info to our Director and then she went to the Board and they made the decision to close us for the day so we did not add to the chaos. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
