Please pray for all in the deadly fire zone around Hollywoo

memories are getting lost in cars attempting to flee but are eventually abandoned

traffic

this is a suggestion to flee before the evacuation warning

i am also going to say on 9/11, the small building complex i was in was told to go home. maybe 500 parking spots and 2 exits - one onto a main road with a light. it took hours to clear those lots. i thought the whole area was shutting down and expected gridlock on the streets.

nope

we were the only ones going home. hours to empty a parking lot smaller than a mall's.

the lesson is that the road system in the entire country isn't made for a mass fleeing. LA must be the worst. So, be proactive and leave before the last minute and before you think maybe, (but to take the point further, you're incinerated just about right where you are in a nuclear attack. 30 minutes? impossible)

Good to hear from you… wish it was under much different circumstances. Everyone here wishes you all the best.
