Nobody died during the evacuation of Pacific Palisades

Another note about the Pacific Palisades fire. You may have seen pictures of roads choked with cars and wondered why there wasn't better evacuation planning. Maybe there should have been, but here's what the Palisades looks like:

There just aren't very many ways out. Aside from tiny Bowdoin St., there's Sunset Boulevard running through the middle and Pacific Coast Highway to the south. That's pretty much it. In the event of a massive evacuation, there just aren't many options for moving a lot of people to safety.

But it's worth noting that, despite some apparent mistakes, they got everyone out. Not a single person died during the evacuation.
