Free 03 Deluge of the Dead by David Forsyth Page A

Santa Barbara and Newport Beach. Refugees who cannot be housed at those marinas will be evacuated to Catalina or Terminal Island.
    Survivors who are unable to reach the coastal safe havens on their own have several options. Crews are working to open a traffic lane on the 110 freeway between downtown LA and the Terminal Island safe haven. If successful, it will only be available for use by public buses and convoys escorted by the LAPD. Buses will only operate during the rain, but will make stops at every off-ramp to pick up survivors. 
     In East LA a safe haven is being established on either side on Interstate 10 at Eastern Avenue, encompassing the campus of Cal State Los Angeles and the LA County Fire and Sheriff Headquarters. Metrolink trains will deliver refugees to the Cal State LA station from both directions and Cal-Trans crews will be working to open traffic lanes to that safe haven on the I-10 and 710 freeways. Survivors in the San Fernando Valley are encouraged to seek shelter at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank where the National Guard has established a secure perimeter.
    Additional safe havens and locations to gather for evacuation, including local fire stations, will be announced later in the day. A maximum effort has been ordered by the Mayor of Los Angeles for all police, fire and public works personnel to contribute to the evacuation. Any citizen, including construction workers, with access to heavy equipment such as earthmovers that can assist in clearing the roads during the rain are encouraged to do so. 
    Be aware that all refugees entering any safe haven will be subject to physical inspection, including strip search, for any signs of infection. Anyone displaying fresh wounds will be held in quarantine. Authorities have announced that any person who knowingly arrives at a safe haven after being bitten by one of the infected will have committed a crime by endangering other survivors. As there is no known cure for the Super Rabies Virus, those proven to be infected will be terminated immediately.
    This message will be repeated until updated evacuation information is available. Please stay tuned to this station for additional instructions and begin your preparations for evacuation. This is not a test.
    “Not a test my ass,” muttered Scag. The whole damned zombie apocalypse was the ultimate test and this new twist looked like the final exam. The evacuation alert had forced his hand. He would have to take action and assert control of the gang before half of them decided to run over to the Queen Mary as soon as the first rain drops fell. That simply wouldn’t fly. He needed a plan and he needed it now. First things first though.
    “Shut that crap off,” yelled Scag. “And gather everyone together in front of the shark tank. Bring everyone, including the bitches, wimps and brats. This is a major powwow.  It’s time to rock and roll assholes!”  Yeah, this was shaping up to be one hell of a day. Scag reflected again on the old pirate’s motto that “Dead Men Tell No Tales” then realized that pirates had a lot of other good ideas too. Who would make better pirates than a gang of Surf Nazis?

This is Rejean Sours. There are currently 20 of us held up at Eisenhower Middle School in Lawton, Ok. We are doing well on food for now but are worried about our families.
This virus was brought into our school by a teacher. He was bit in the neck by a homeless gentleman he was feeding at the local soup kitchen. When he came to school he had flu like symptoms. He left on a school field trip with my daughter and 15 others. The bus never made it to their destination or back to the school. I fear my daughter is dead or deadish. I have had no contact with Edison Elementary where my youngest daughter was at school. I don’t have a satellite phone so no news from my husband currently stationed in Korea.
Just knowing people are trying to do something helps. Well I will continue to
