Jesus Christ that would be a gigantic operation

I can't see how that would eve be possible in US, like where would 10 million people go, how would necessities such as food and water be distributed, etc. It would basically be a refugee crisis of biblical proportions.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make it any further than their nearest highway.

The 2016 evacuation of Fort McMurray involved "just" 80,000 from the town and there were enough traffic issues then.

I have hard time imagining how the transit infrastructure would handle this as well.
