HelloI don't know why Texas would respond in this way.
If the eclipse were happening across Europe maybe it would be a precaution.
Trucks in certain areas in daylight hours are at risk of being mobbed and boarded by illegal immigrants looking to hide in the trailers.
They cut small trees, roll large rocks, any encumbrance they can manipulate onto highway systems so to stop big rigs.
If it were a day of round the clock darkness due to an eclipse here, I could see shutdown of tractor-trailer traffic.
Unless, that's happening in Texas now too and it is underreported.
As to the provisioning for an extended period, maybe they think the grid could be impacted?
I have no clue either. I’m just seeing if anybody has an opinion and your sounds as good as anybody else (with the grid.)
that can’t be good for the supply chain either
Maybe they got something of a threat going on in Texas they don’t want us to know about on some of these bridges
Hey, I’m just spitballing it here
