No, the media has scared everyone into leaving....from what I understand, the three zone evacuation is for the people living in the 500 year flood plains.
BTW, LAFD and LA County Fire are staged in Dallas...they just got back into Los Angeles last week, from NOLA. Flew out last night. Also, heard that a large number of out of state ambulances were staged in an area now to get heavy flooding...when I heard more about that I will post it.
I keep hearing that people who "don't need to leave" clogged up the roads, but even without flooding the storm's at 130+ mph, right? I'm not clear about that.
My CA Nat'l Guard friend, who had been at the Astrodome and was headed home, sent us email from Ft. Stockton TX saying they were headed back to Houston this weekend.
I hope we don't see schoolbus-style pictures of ambulances under water.
