January,9, 2025. 4 PM. Suddenly, living in the Hollywood Hills above Los Angeles, I and my life partner got a loud beeping Emergency Alert on our cellphones that said to prepare for evacuation NOW. We hurriedly packed the car and got ready to leave, scared to death of the approaching wildfire. Would we be able to escape the deadly flames, would traffic allow us to do so or would the streets be filled with thousands of slow/unmoving vehicles evacuating? Where would we go? Outside, I looked around and could see no smoke or flames anywhere in the immediate area. Our hearts were racing.
We then sat in our residence and anxiously waited for the final evacuation order. 10 minutes later we got another loud beeping Emergency Alert. OMG, this is it. We could die, burned to death in a wildfire. The Alert said that the previous evacuation alert, possibly sent out to millions of residents in the Los Angeles area, was a mistake, and to disregard it. WHAT? A "mistake"? I, and God knows how many other people who got the Alert, almost had a heart attack...for nothing?
The State of California and the City of Los Angeles is managed mismanaged by Democrats.
