The thing that jumped out to me in the LA Times article is the criticism of Amber Alert-style notifications because they're delayed…when, later on in the article, they note that the average delay is about 12 seconds. And those 90 minutes that are unaccounted for are certainly notable.
I suspect there will be wrongful death lawsuits over this, and frankly they seem like they have a pretty good basis so far. It's true that cell service in Paradise sucked and that many of the elderly residents didn't have cell phones. All of which is even more reason to not be conservative in your evacuation declarations.
