(I'm brand new here and this is my very first post. I was told about the "evacuations" the other day, and ran across this site in search for the truth.) I live on the west coast (about 30 min from the beach AND a military air base). This year and last year (and perhaps a little further back) I have witnessed military air traffic flying south to north on a, basically, daily basis multiple times a day [which, just to note, is more than the average amount of air traffic that I've personally witnessed over the lifetime that I've spent living here (I've always paid attention to "cool" jets and loud C130-like planes in the sky)]. I have not seen or heard any of that air traffic in the past week or more--NONE. My girlfriend said she heard ONE the other day, but that's definitely not the norm these days--food for thought.
Also, if there were "evacuation notices" your typical troop would not know it to be an evacuation, and instead would be told that whatever was happening was a training exercise (unless there were a fire, or something just as blatantly obvious, to force an immediate evacuation). Or, they would have them leaving slowly over a longer period of time for some bs reason. OR, they wouldn't be told at all, and the higher ups would be the only ones to leave (our lower level troops are disposable, and there are still plenty of them inland and other places).
One more thing... why is congress on recess for the month of August?
