Let's see, a complete moron pisses on about bullshit.
Meanwhile TXDOT says that idiots might do stupid shit(paraphrasing obviously) during the eclipse so be alert if driving during it.
Travis County's actual advice
Plan for traffic congestion the weekend before and all day on Monday, April 8, especially after the eclipse when people will be leaving at the same time.
Reschedule nonurgent appointments for a different day.
Get gas and groceries and run errands before the eclipse day.
Watch the eclipse at home or near your home.
If traveling to watch the eclipse, plan ahead and download the What3Words app, which can help first responders locate 911 callers in an emergency.
I don't know about you, but getting any noncritical errands done before a bunch of lookyloos descend on your area at least doubling the local population just goes under the category of common sense.
They also explicitly stated that they declared disaster conditions so that they could pre-stage things like additional tow trucks in the county. Because in Texas, unlike in say... California, they like to balance the budget. Which means keeping track of things like that and following certain procedures.
