Is it my imagination or did I hear that they declared a state of emergency for Niagara Falls re: the expected crowds...
Ahhh...ok.Apparently the Canadian side of Niagara Falls (Ontario) has declared the emergency.

I didn't see anything come up for the state of New York.

State of emergency, they will shut down the roads near the falls from 10 am to 12 pm. So once your are thier your stuck!. 1 million people estimated to come, usally they see 14 million a year. Ouch!Is it my imagination or did I hear that they declared a state of emergency for Niagara Falls re: the expected crowds...
I didn't feel it, was driving. My daughter flipped and called me said the house was falling down. I also didnt feel the aftershock everyone else did in the house because I was in the garage that has a cement pad. Or I am just oblivious! Lol. I have been through a eathquake before , smaller , and it can be mindblowing before your brain processes it.....Hey Spencer... how was the quake by you.... first time I ever felt one in my whole life....

Today was supose to be all clouds. And rain. It was sunny and 55. At home in nj was colder. The kicker was we hit 2 snow storms or squals while driving through NY and PA. Lol. So went from 40 degrees to 30 to 50 in about 7.5 hours. With weather anything is possible.I understand the desire to be "near the falls" to hear the roar in the semi-darkness. But the whole area is in totality.
I wonder if the "Maid of the Mist" boats that give the tourist boat rides are charging a premium for being on the boat during totality. I'm sure they could charge an arm and a leg for that. But I know Spence can come up with the dough.
@Sjm9911, the stories you could tell after this adventure will probably rival the Woodstock stories. And a little embellishment doesn't hurt (for artistic purposes).
But the forecast looks cloudy.
