Drove from St Louis to Wisconsin yesterday afternoon I55 southbound was jammed. We were joking that they must have decided to evacuate Chicago but I am sure s lot of them were folks heading into S Illinois and Missouri to see the eclipse

I saw lots of roadway signs starting around Montgomery and north. No stopping for eclipse and use headlights during eclipse messages.

Record traffic jams expected nationwide today. No thanks to traveling.

When I left last night we were down to 33 cars and 42 SUV's @ the airport. That put us about 50 shy of the anticipated rentals (we weren't getting the anticipated returns). Some peeps are out there rockin' Cadillacs, Mercedes's, Infinity's, Jaguars, and Land Rovers that didn't reserve them- it's all we had to give them.

Madras Airport looks like Van Nuys.



And yes, I-5 rest stop @ Santiam is jammed- rest stop, adjoining fields, and yes- the emergency lanes on I-5.

I'm sitting at my volunteer job at the hospital. Big room with high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. Right now there are light clouds around where the sun is. I'm going to just stay inside and watch the room go a little dim.

Only three people scheduled surgery today.

The aerial photos above shows the estimated 30,000 people who have created their own temporary community on the grounds where the festival is being held in Big Summit Festival attendees in Oregon are in one of the perfect spots in the United States to see the rare eclipse on Monday in totality.
