This is a picture of IH 10 eastbound from the 508 on-ramp. Traffic is significantly backed up and very slow moving due to an accident at Mile Marker 509. Traffic is also extremely slow moving eastbound from Comfort on to Boerne into San Antonio.

Good morning Kerrville! It looks like today will be cloudy, but cloudy or clear, the total solar eclipse will still happen. While we hope for awe-inspiring views, it's still crucial to prioritize safety during this phenomenon. ☀️🌕

Here are some essential tips:
✅Be patient. Be prepared.
❌ Do not stop on highways or impede traffic flow to view the eclipse.
✅ If you're traveling to view the eclipse, exercise caution on the roads and follow traffic laws.
❌ Never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection, even during partial phases of the eclipse. Use solar filters on cameras and telescopes.
✅ Use proper eye wear: Protect your eyes from harmful solar radiation by using certified eclipse glasses or handheld solar viewers. Regular sunglasses are NOT sufficient.
❌ Do not wear your eclipse glasses while driving.
✅Only use 911 for emergencies to keep those lines free. The non-emergency number is 830-257-8181.

Remember, safety is paramount during this extraordinary event. Let's make sure everyone can enjoy the solar eclipse safely and responsibly. Together, we can make it an unforgettable experience for all!
