It seems as though you've already taken the initiative by making a tremendous effort to conduct this thread after doing your research. I am curious to know if you believe in the video below or not. It seems like we're having some strange, supernatural phenomenons happening on 04/08 with this Solar Eclipse. Sorry I had to delete the original thread because it didn't make any sense, especially since you've already took your time to make this one.
I don't believe the eclipse will cause an earthquake, if there is an earthquake it'd be purely coincidental. There's no actual science to back up the claim they can cause earthquakes from what I understand

I implore you to travel to the path of totality if possible, there is a massive difference between 99% and totality. 99% is still bright outside, it isn't much different than a regular day, whereas it gets dark enough to see planets and stars in the sky during totality (its somewhere around twilight level of darkness) and the eclipse itself during totality is very beautiful. Also, photos don't capture the full beauty of how it looks in person, it's a massive difference as well
You can place a marker on the map here and see the duration of totality for that spot https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2024-april-8 note that near the edge of the path of totality it only last seconds so you want to go a good amount inside the path
If you do go, just plan a route and alternative routes in advance before leaving and check the traffic on Google Maps or the like

Glad you got to see that one, definitely something I think everyone should see at least once in their life. I plan to see as many as possible throughout my life which will means I'll have to do a lot of traveling but it's also a great opportunity to see the world and experience other cultures (got lots of saving up to do for that though lol)
