[OPLINLIST] Eclipclaypse 2024! - St Marys

[Kim Null]

That's what we ended up deciding. I went to a safety planning meeting back
in July with police, fire, Red Cross, Coast Guard, etc to talk about the
logistics here 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.
