I’ve been told that I need to stop this eclipse and I do not have the authority to do that. So yes, people are really concerned. But we’re just trying to prepare them.

    I don’t know why the “journalist” put it this way except to drive traffic. The truth is the main street of that town is under construction and they have been trying for months to warn michiganders from overwhelming this town as it can’t handle the influx of travelers. My guess that request was brought up jokenly by a local who is concerned about what is probably going to happen. Their little town overrun by others.

      yes! this type of headline is essentially misinformation??? this is twitter-level mincing of words and an embarrassment to real reporters everywhere.

      this type of post should not be allowed, not as real news, and not as c/nottheonion content either. clown behavior.
