Traffic Congestion:
Know before you go by having multiple routes planned for your intended destination and allow for plenty of time for traveling. There may be increased traffic and congestion on some roads. Avoid confusion and congestion by pre-planning and getting to your viewing spot early. Only park in designated areas and avoid parking or driving through dry grass. When in doubt, know your route.

Eye Protection:
During an annular eclipse, the Sun forms a “Ring of Fire” around the moon as the moon's shadow obscures the Sun, but the moon appears slightly smaller than the Sun. Eye protection must be worn at all times!
Experience:
Mark yourself present and post photos and descriptions of how you celebrate the eclipses on the Texas Two Step Eclipse Engagement Map! Let others know where you are watching and share your own unique experience.
