The two counties east of here (jefferson & orange) have issued mandatory evacuation orders... consequently, the local highways are clogged with people not only from these counties, but places farther east in Louisiana, including New Orleans. I hear emergency vehicles (both police & ambulance) sirens almost constantly.*
I've spent time battening down some of the looser hatches so to speak today to mix with my normal month & weekend chores.
*PS: I'm hearing life-flight helicopters overhead joining the evacuation fray now.
