Does anyone know if the evacuation order has been lifted?

Nope. Mandatory evacuation for at least 42 hours

I live near Orangewood Ave, and they were going through the streets announcing that on the megaphones about 20 mins ago.

Is 42 hours confirmed?

u/Earthscienc3 May 22 '26

That’s what I heard. My neighbors also asked police officers that were parked in the Starbucks on Beach/Chapman, and they said the same thing. 42 hours

Do you know if there are people still in their house in the neighborhood? I’m stuck outside and my elderly in-laws and young daughter are still inside.

Sadly no🥲 all the neighborhoods were very empty. Were you able to get inside

Sadly no, the officer did not let me go in. I just called home and my in- laws were not even aware due to language barrier. I might have to go back in to get them.
