Several people had watch parties around the area in anticipation of the Solar Eclipse. In 2024 Cass County was on the edge of a total Solar Eclipse that won’t happen for another 20 years.
Starting at noon the Atlanta Public Library hosted an eclipse-watching party where there were eclipse glasses, hot dogs, chips, Moon Pies, games, prizes, and fun.
Broadband internet is an essential part of our modern daily life. We take for granted things like electricity, clean drinking water, and telephone service but these utilities took a long time to plan and build out. Someday soon we will feel the same way about broadband internet. U.S. Census Bureau data indicate almost 2.8 million Texas households, and 7 million people lack broadband access. Twenty-three percent of Texans are unable to attend online classes, see a healthcare provider from their living room, fill out a job application online, start a business or access online marketplaces from their kitchen table. These barriers negatively affect Texans’ quality of life and limit economic opportunities for people and the state overall.
On Monday night into Tuesday morning, severe weather storms blew through Cass County causing power outages. Up until around 8:00 a.m. power was out forcing Atlanta and McLeod to cancel classes Tuesday. All other Cass County Schools remained open.
