I just saw a twitter feed. Showed two lanes of highway jammed trying to get out. Lanes coming in were empty. I’m guessing they have to keep those lanes empty for rescue vehicles to get back in, but it seems such a shame to not use them to escape.

This is a criminal lapse of judgment. You cannot evacuate that many people in that short a time. It’s going to be like the freeways of LA, a parking lot. Most people who aren’t paying attention to the news won’t even know unless they are blaring sirens.

Gross incompetence. This is very bad.

I am much further south but I would have had my bug out essentials packed yesterday. I keep thinking of the World Trade Center instructions to stay in the building, everything is fine. You can’t trust them.

I thought that officials learned that lesson during the year of 5 major hurricanes. The ones in Texas after Katrina utilized one way for highways for a few hours and it got people out much faster. Maybe CA officials don’t read anything about Texas since the “dummies” there vote Republican. /s

That's nuts. I'd probably be one of those guys who said, "Screw this!", and jumped the median.

CHP just opened all southbound lanes to northbound traffic.

The Evacuation is in full swing.
