Freeway Closures: None
We just got back from Orange County and took the 91 back with no slowing or incidents. It seemed so unreal that I checked the CHP traffic incident page and the Caltrans daily closure report for the area and there was absolutely nothing listed for this area tonight. Wow.
What is the alternate route if the I-15 south of the Nevada border is closed? Caltrans says:

(SAN BERNARDINO CO) FROM 0800 HRS TO 1000 HRS TUESDAY THRU WEDNESDAY THRU

If you saw the movie, you might remember the end where Rob and Beth are at Coney Island and in the background a mysterious something falls out of the sky. After that, a virtual cthulhu tore up Manhattan. I’m just saying…
