We are just a little bit more than three months away from what many believe will be the most dramatic total solar eclipse in U.S. history.\u00a0 It is being called \u201cthe Great American Eclipse of 2024\u201d, and millions of Americans will take time off in order to travel so that they can personally see it.\u00a0 Between now and April, the mainstream news will be filled with stories about this eclipse, and so it is going to be difficult for anyone to ignore what is going on.\u00a0 In this article, I am going to share 14 things that everyone needs to know about the Great American Eclipse of 2024\u2026<\/p>\n
#1<\/strong> It is a total solar eclipse that will occur on April 8th, 2024.<\/p>\n #2<\/strong> The path of the eclipse will travel through portions of the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.<\/p>\n #3<\/strong> The path of the eclipse will also travel through parts of Mexico and Canada.<\/p>\n #4<\/strong> It is being projected that this eclipse will be the most viewed astronomical event in the entire history of our country.<\/p>\n #5<\/strong> According to the Washington Post<\/a>, more than 30 million Americans will simply be able to walk outside of their homes and experience this eclipse\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThis is going to be the most populated eclipse in the U.S. with 31.5 million people able to just walk outside of their homes and experience this event,\u201d Kelly Korreck, NASA program manager for the 2024 total solar eclipse, said in a news conference at the American Geophysical Union conference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n #6<\/strong> We are being told that this eclipse may be \u201cthe single-biggest mass travel event\u201d<\/a> of 2024\u2026<\/p>\n The event may also be the single-biggest mass travel event in the United States, according to the Great American Eclipse website. Several large cities very close to the path of totality are St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit, Toronto and Quebec. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., are also within 200 miles of the direct path.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n #7<\/strong> Those that are in the direct path of the eclipse will discover that the air temperature suddenly becomes approximately 10 degrees cooler once the moon is fully blocking the sun.<\/p>\n #8<\/strong> The path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will cross the United States on the very first day of the year on the Hebrew calendar.<\/p>\n #9<\/strong> If you put the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024, the path of the \u201cRing of Fire\u201d solar eclipse of October 14th, 2023 and the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 all on a map, they combine to form a giant paleo-Hebrew \u201cAleph\u201d over America\u2026<\/p>\n #10<\/strong> If you just put the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 and the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 on a map, they combine to form a giant paleo-Hebrew \u201cTav\u201d over America\u2026<\/p>\n #11<\/strong> The heart of the paleo-Hebrew \u201cTav\u201d forms a giant \u201cX\u201d that falls directly over the New Madrid fault zone.<\/p>\n #12<\/strong>\u00a0One of my readers pointed out to me that we have seen a giant \u201cX\u201d like this before.\u00a0\u00a0The path of a solar eclipse that occurred on June 16th, 1806 combined with the path of a solar eclipse that occurred on September 17th, 1811 to also form a giant \u201cX\u201d over the New Madrid fault zone.<\/p>\n #13<\/strong>\u00a0Three months after the solar eclipse that happened on September 17th, 1811, a series of absolutely enormous earthquakes began to happen\u00a0on the New Madrid fault<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n The New Madrid earthquakes were the biggest earthquakes in American history. They occurred in the central Mississippi Valley, but were felt as far away as New York City, Boston, Montreal, and Washington D.C. President James Madison and his wife Dolly felt them in the White House. Church bells rang in Boston. From December 16, 1811 through March of 1812 there were over 2,000 earthquakes in the central Midwest, and between 6,000-10,000 earthquakes in the Bootheel of Missouri where New Madrid is located near the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.<\/p>\n In the known history of the world, no other earthquakes have lasted so long or produced so much evidence of damage as the New Madrid earthquakes. Three of the earthquakes are on the list of America\u2019s top earthquakes: the first one on December 16, 1811, a magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter scale; the second on January 23, 1812, at 7.8; and the third on February 7, 1812, at as much as 8.8 magnitude.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n #14<\/strong> The next total solar eclipse visible from the United States will not happen until 2044, and the path of that total solar eclipse will only touch three states.<\/p>\n I believe that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 is a really big deal, and so I put it on the cover of my new book<\/a>.<\/p>\n Others may disagree with me, and that is okay.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know anyone that agrees with me 100 percent of the time.<\/p>\n But what everyone should be able to agree on is that 2024 is going to be quite a crazy year.<\/p>\n So far this year, we have already seen a historic earthquake in Japan<\/a>, a major escalation<\/a>\u00a0of the conflict in Ukraine and\u00a0an assassination<\/a> which could take the war in the Middle East to an entirely new level.<\/p>\n Each day is going to bring more new surprises, and I expect things to get really wild as we get closer to the election in November.<\/p>\n So buckle up and hold on tight, because chaos is here and it isn\u2019t going away any time soon.<\/p>\n Michael\u2019s new book entitled\u00a0\u201cChaos\u201d<\/a>\u00a0is now available\u00a0in paperback<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0for the Kindle<\/a>\u00a0on Amazon.com, and you can check out his new Substack newsletter\u00a0right here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
