The day of the total eclipse has finally arrived. The Texas Hill Country and parts of San Antonio will be among the most popular viewing spots in the nation for today’s total solar eclipse. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to travel to the area to see the rare event.
In other words, exactly the conditions eclipse-seekers have been fearing. About 7 a.m., traffic was moving quickly on U.S. 290 between Fredericksburg and Johnson City, with no stopping or congestion in either direction, but a steady flow of cars was heading west, further into the path of totality. Johnson City has already barricaded some roads in an effort to keep eclipse tourists out of residential areas, but free parking spots are still plentiful.
