< Mandatory evacuation was not given until the president called the mayor and pressed him to order the evacuation.
Just thought I'd add that reminder. >
We aren't disputing the "mandatory" evac timing. We are discussing his press conference on Sat morning when he asked and advised people to leave. That would be all it took for me, but the truth is I would have been gone before that even.
Oh, I agree. I'd have been gone by Friday.
