Even as sad as this is, it is even more frustrating to watch because as they were trying to clear this from the road, the miles and miles of traffic of evacuees backed up behind them. From the helicopter view, the southbound lanes on the other side were empty. They have yet to be opened to northbound evacuees. ARGH!
They were just showing images here on the west coast. It looks like something out of a bad hollywood movie. As far as we could see, thousands outside their cars, just standing there, all the way to the horizon.
