TOLEDO, Ohio — Five days are left until the total solar eclipse in northwest Ohio, and the city of Findlay says they are prepared for people to visit.
Mayor Christina Muryn welcomes people to Findlay and encourages them to take part in the festivities leading up to the total solar eclipse.
"Findlay is very close to the epicenter with a large exposure time and good viewing for the totality, and so we expect an influx of population," Muryn said. "We don't know specific numbers we've heard any more from, but it could double to quadruple so we've made sure we're prepared for whatever comes at us."
Findlay is very close to the totality of the eclipse and is expecting 3 minutes and 44 seconds of complete darkness due to the eclipse.

This is double what Toledo expects for the eclipse. The Glass City expects 1 minute and 51 seconds of total darkness.
Muryn said that collaborating and listening to city residents helped shape the city's plan to celebrate this celestial event.
"At our viewing sites, we did make the eclipse the show. A couple of places will have the mobile health clinic and different things, but we are primarily just letting the eclipse be the show," Muryn said. "That was some feedback that we received from several citizens that have traveled the world to watch the eclipse, they said 'listen, it's going to be about enjoying the experience collectively.'"
The city is prepared to bring in the total solar eclipse and welcome all visitors to come and enjoy Findlay.
