City of Charleston tourism officials are offering special hotel and restaurant deals to take advantage of the eclipse.

"You put them on and you can’t really see anything," explained Zoe Spyridonos, age six, showing off the cardboard solar eclipse glasses her parents bought her. The small town of McClellanville, directly under the path of the eclipse, is even renting extra port-a-potties. And what if -- after all the hubbub and extensive preparations -- bad weather should bring disappointment to would-be eclipse viewers?
