How many Americans will die because of the eclipse?

So there are going to be several millions of us traveling (or not) to see the eclipse.  There are worries of wild fires, rattlesnakes and not enough food/water in Oregon.  There are going to thousands stuck in traffic for many hours in strange, out of the way places.  Gas stations out of gas, ATM out of cash, cell networks overloaded....ya know, the usual sh**t that happens in emergencies.



So, either people are going to die or I'm buying into the fearmongering.  What do you guys think?

Shortly before midnight, Oregon State Police said the backup on Highway 26 was 30 miles. The Big Summit Prairie, an eclipse festival in the middle of the Ochoco National Forest, begins Thursday and is expected to attract 30,000 visitors.
