Yeah, you can see the eclipse hot spots by looking at traffic maps. KC and up to St Joseph looks especially bad.

I would not want to be driving back to some of those airports to return a rental car and fly out today.

Still, TV coverage didn't show the mob scenes that I would have expected. Even carhenge wasn't close to standing room only. Maybe the worst would have been to pay $200 for a hot and humid seat on a rooftop bar in Nashville or someplace similar.
