BELL COUNTY, Texas – Bell County, Texas has declared a local state of disaster as it prepares for an influx of visitors for this April’s total solar eclipse.
The county where the city of Killen and Fort Cavazos are located is in the Path of Totality, where the moon completely covers the sun.
Bell County, which has a population of 400,000, is expecting to see 400,000 visitors come to view the April 8th eclipse.
The county says the surge could put strains on first responders, fuel, hospitals, food and traffic.
