Sheriff Says No Major Issues During And After Eclipse

From all reports, there were no major issues in south Wasco County related to crowds gathering in the path of totality for Monday’s solar eclipse.  Sheriff Lane Magill says overall crowd management went well thanks in part to the preparation officials did in the weeks leading up to the eclipse.  Magill says they are asking the Oregon Department of Transportation for vehicle count research, but he estimated there were between two-to-three-thousand cars per hour coming into the south county on Monday morning.  He adds Wasco County emergency officials will hold a meeting to breakdown how the day went to identify potential gaps they may have had to help prepare for other events and emergencies.
