There is at least 2 eclipse per years, so I don't see why this one would specifically generate conspiracy theories over all the others.

People will do prediction that will realize by default (Earthquake, people dying, and so on) and claim to have super power, same shit as usual

Because this one is going over America, and Americans think the world revolves around them. In this case more literally than usual.
