The approaching total solar eclipse that will be visible across much of North America has forced officials in Bell County, Texas, to declare a state of emergency as a swell of visitors is anticipated to get a front-row view of the path of totality. According to the latest census, the county north of Austin has a year-round population of just under 400,000, but that figure could reach nearly a million around April 8, the date of the much-anticipated event.
