Gov Deal in Georgia just declared mandatory evacuation for all of Ga East of I-95

To begin Saturday 8am.

This will put a heavy strain on traffic heading north on I-95 and west on I-16, as well as fuel availability.

If you are in Florida and evacuating North, get out now or risk being stuck on the highway.

I'd be curious as to how long it took to get to NC when he left NightWatcher Sep 2017 #2
I would think he is going to make bad time. madaboutharry Sep 2017 #3

He's driving to New York. I hope he has gotten ahead of the traffic crunch. His parents are pretty angry he didn't leave on Monday or Tuesday, but you know those millennials.

At about 7:30 this morning he was in Daytona Beach, but I would think it is going to get slow.
