The boys in SC might be drinking too much moonshine if they see lizardmen.  NC unaffected.

Never heard the reference myself, but there are some crazy people in my state.

So we have enough crazies here already, and all these others are coming from almost all directions. People in our neighborhood are selling rooms for $300/night and they're all booked from what I understand.

I figured the best place to be on Monday is the lake.

A friend in Idaho said houses in the path of the eclipse were going for up to $10k a night.

When I went to Zambia a few years back there was an eclipse and my plane was full of Euros going to Zimbabwe to see it. It is crazy how much people will spend on eclipses.
