The last time a total solar eclipse was visible in the United States, traffic proved to be the biggest problem.
When he first heard a total solar eclipse would be visible over Casper , Wyo., in 2017, Stew Anderson wasn't particularly excited. He'd seen a partial eclipse as a kid, and didn't see why it would be such a big deal. Anderson — the emergency management coordinator for Natrona County , home to almost 80,000 people and the state's second-largest city — had no idea he was about to spend two years thinking about and preparing for the event.
What if Texas is cloudy during the total solar eclipse? Here’s what you’ll see. Preparing for the unknown Before 2017, the last time a total solar eclipse was visible in the continental United States was 1970, when the path of totality traveled up the east coast from Florida through New England. That offered little help in preparing, said Rich Ochs, emergency management coordinator for Teton County, Wyo., which includes the resort town of Jackson and Grand Teton National Park.
