The area will probably have little cell service during eclipse

The week of the solar eclipse, thousands of people from all over will be in the Hopkinsville, Clarksville area to watch the once in a lifetime event.

That means limited or spotty cell service.  If you don’t know your way around, make sure you have an old fashioned paper map.  You remember those, right?  The ones that seem impossible to fold back up!

AT&T anticipates a shortage of data when all the thousands arrive in Hopkinsville and Clarksville. They have been providing a Mega Cell on Wheels or COW which will help boost internet connectivity.
