we are just 3 days away from the total solar eclipse NASA estimates that about 99% of Americans will see the sun covered up at least to somewhat during the the day that happens on Monday I'm getting super excited but while we are all really waiting for the eclipse what about our pets tend to be a little smarter than we are uh we they know not to stare at the sun they know better so that means you don't need to put your eclipse glasses on your fur babies but veterinarians say if you're tend to ge
t anxious or stressed and I have one of those at my house you may want to avoid bringing them into crowds the eclipse could however impact other Wildlife as the lights go out time to go to bit like these bees in Tennessee that suddenly return to their hives during an Eclipse 7 years ago researchers say they plan to use Monday's Eclipse as a chance to study its impact on Wildlife that's like a Stephen King novel yeah and I did I did hear about this they were talking about it on a program that I w
as listening to the other day they were talking about how the bees stop buzzing during the eclipse if they're path of totality that's wild and I this this is a good story but I remember years ago with the tsunami that was so devastating the animals ran away before it happened so uh he's on to something they just you know they're more in tuned they're more quiet than we are okay well we've been telling you about how you can get your free eclipse glasses at the DC Public Library System well take a
look at your screen this is how many glasses are left at each location we're down to okay it looks like if you can um go over across the bridge an aasia has uh I guess the most no no no Francis a Gregory that branch has the most you can get them through Monday while supplies last as long as you're a DC resident there are also a few libraries in Montgomery County giving them out too though I tried to search for them I ended up buying some yesterday okay they're only like a buck 99 so well you yo
u have them you're prepared yeah that's what's important I'm not going to miss it that's right next one isn't for like 20 years okay yeah right well wsa 9 is a is a place to be for your Eclipse coverage we'll have live team coverage all day Monday to get a look at the uh the events happening in our area just text a word Eclipse to 202 89555 N9 and we'll text you back with a link
