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.

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.

Because it's going to take a lot longer now.

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