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.
See 35
Somehow I think it's going to be far later than 2 am......if it's bad enough that they are doing evacs and bringing in sign trucks from that far away, and (according to that news report) hazmat is still unclear as to how to handle it.......
And oh what a mess for those truck drivers with 76 as the only real alternate if they can't go through...you'd think most of them would head down further to 78 instead.
Uh oh...not looking good...either a really big mess or FAR more serious than first thought.....
