That doesn't mean that eveyone could walk out, obviously, but there apparently is a land route out of the city.

Well they havent driven down that road to the area near the convention center. I dont expect people without access to radio and tv broadcasts to know that a road is now open

That's true, but there are at least two TV teams at teh Convention Center; how hard would it be for one of them to pass the word?

"I dont expect people without access to radio and tv broadcasts to know that a road is now open..."

I have people near me here in Ohio ask "why don't these folks use their cell phones to get info?"

When I explain that even if the can get power back on to power the towers in the area, how many do they think are still standing after 100+ mph winds.

Usually at theat point I get blank looks.

I am afraid a lot of the rest of the country just don't get it yet!
