KANSAS CITY, Mo. - - T-minus 3 days until eclipse totality passes through Missouri.
Southeastern Missouri – – to be a bit more specific. That suggests individuals around here who want to see it are hitting the road.
Chris Becker from Lee's Summit said his kids don't remember the last eclipse – – with Missouri in its path in 2017
. However this time, experience meets preparation for his three kids.
" We began preparing this in 2017," Becker stated.
" We ended up kind of picking going to
St. Louis and then driving down to Jackson, Missouri which is expected to have one of the longest eclipse times because it's so near to totality," Becker stated.
His family – – like others planning on social media – – also has contingency prepare for weather condition, heading north or south depending on cloud cover.

However a main concern is why?
"When my youngest sees the sun and the shadow of the moon come through and he gets to see the stars during the daytime for the first time – – and simply seeing his reaction to that, that's why I do it," Becker said.
