I mean think about it. They have no internet so they have no idea that it's going to happen. It's going to be the middle of the day and suddenly it's going to look like nighttime.

The Amish are not stupid people, they know what an Eclipse is I imagine.

Lack of internet access does not mean they have no way of getting news.

I mean...really? O_o

They know what an eclipse is, and they probably know when it's going to happen. People kept track of these things long before the Internet existed

half of them use smart phones and shit on the down low anyways. They know what's happening. A lot of Amish/Mennonite are only in it for the tax break.

The Amish do use technology these days. They cover it up but it's basically an open secret. They don't spend all day on the internet like us addicts, but they do have internet.

They get really mad when you confront them about it, like you can ask any airline stewards about amish people who ride on planes and I'm sure you'd get some colorful stories.

Even though they don't have electronics, I'm sure they're in contact with people outside their community for resources. Plus they can read newspapers and stuff >_>
