I am excited about the international attention that our state’s capital is receiving, as Columbia buzzes with the anticipation of the upcoming eclipse. South Carolina is projected to have an influx of hundreds of thousands of visitors, eager to witness the total solar eclipse, one of nature’s rarest spectacles. While I am personally very excited about experiencing not just the eclipse, but also all of the affiliated activities going on in Columbia on Monday, it is important to remember that safety comes first. This includes not only safely viewing the eclipse, but also coping with traffic, which is expected to be ten times more than a Carolina vs Clemson home game! One of the missions of the Mike Kelly Law Group is to make South Carolina a safer place to live, work and play. Please take extra caution on the road over the next few days, and be vigilant of your surroundings. Most importantly, be prepared. Below are some helpful links for advice on viewing the eclipse safely. Enjoy the eclipse, but please be safe!
