 BY VICKI FERSTEL | Staff writer Gov. Jeff Landry is moving faster to make changes and consolidate power than any Louisiana governor since, well, Huey Long.

Whatever else you do today, don't look up! If you must, at least put on a pair of special ISO certified-safe eclipse glasses. Today's eclipse is expected to reach 88 percent in the Baton Rouge area, but overcast skies may make the viewing a bit difficult. The eclipse is forecast to start here at 12:30 p.m., peak at 1:45 p.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. Staff writer Robin Miller has the scoop on where you can watch, and perhaps snag a pair of those special glasses.
