Keep in mind they'd be volunteering to head into a place so potentially dangerous, that anyone within 20 miles of it was just asked to evacuate.

This is misleading by CBS or a screwup of km/mi. Within 20km (12mi) were told to evacuate. 10km (18mi out and closer) beyond that are told to "evacuate in place," in other words stay inside where they are.

Thought the reason they told them that was because they could not give them enough warning to evacuate safely ?
