mayor was talking to lawyers to see if he has the legal authority to evacuate the city. But he's evacuated his own family.

What does a mandatory evacuation look like? Round folks up at gunpoint and load them on cattle cars? Not a wisecrack, in line with my recently announced policy on this thread.

What does the mayor actually DO under a mandatory evacuation. And why is he waiting until 10:00?

Here in the Florida Keys, where I have lived for 30 years, I have seen umpteen "mandatory" evacuations. Fact is, nobody goes door to door and drags you out of your house. Use of the word "mandatory" is a CYA announcement by emegency officials.
