Update...but only from the CHP log, so not gobs more info...at least THAT is something, though...
My reading of this sure makes it sound like they are not at all anticipating a quick clean up...bringing in signs from Lakeside area? That must mean they've got all available from CLOSE locations in use...and that they STILL need more sure seems to indicate they are planning on needing more than just some cops at some of the less likely alternates folks are trying...
And what do you make of the 10 big rig thing?

Well, it's significant enough that Channel 8 -KNSD has broken in to prime time news to update it...and they have their traffic copter still up......
They are evacuating residents to Esc. High School.
It is a MESS (from the visual)..saying they aren't at all sure HOW to handle the spill...probably at least (and she sounded very unconvinced) 5-6 hours till possibly opening...
But they really sound a bit stumped (based on that report) about how to handle it...
A motorist is being credited with people the one who noticed the leak that then got it to the attention of ____ (didn't catch who...the driver? authorities?)...
At the moment, it's looking like somewhere around 2am. CHP is bringing the night shift in early.
The big rig reference just seemed to be a routing question to me. Deer Springs exit sometimes has a few rigs stopped there, or if they're on the Gopher Canyon end they may be figuring out whether to risk driving it or go back to '76.
Looking out the window, the wind direction seems to have changed to a more northerly one... not good for the gang at the C.P.
