Happy solar eclipse day to all who are celebrating. The Texas city of Uvalde plans to host up to 100,000 visitors as people flock to cities and towns in locations with a direct view of the occurrence.
The city hopes to produce some headlines that do not revolve around the tragic mass shooting in 2022 at Robb Elementary School when 19 children and two teachers were murdered.
Uvalde is in a prime location.
Uvalde is almost at the center of the 120-mile wide ‘path of totality’ and is scheduled to go completely dark for four minutes, 15 seconds starting at 1:29 pm and 41 seconds.
That is roughly two minutes after the border town of Eagle Pass – the eclipse’s port of entry into America – is plunged into darkness for a predicted 4.24 minutes.
