happens and how they get through this thing. >> how were evacuations from what you heard? did they go smoothly for everybody? >> they really did. that's the good story coming out of here. a lot of people heeding the advice of emergency officials and getting out early. there were never long traffic jams. there were lines of cars, but everybody that wanted to get to higher ground was able to do that in an orderly fashion. it's those that are staying. we visited with several families who decided to ride this thing out. those are the people the police and sheriff's deputies worried about. they have done some neighborhood checks. the time to leave is past at this point. what they told those who are riding this out, if you decide to stay, we are not sending our officers out during this storm. we are not putting them in harm's way to help. you if you have an emergency, it will have to wait until this storm cleared this area.
