No, that's Haiti on Wednesday. The hurricane came from the Caribbean to the US.

Cutehector:
I bet my life that if it were in Nigeria, Dat empty lane would have been filled up.. infact Buhari should empower WAI (war against indiscipline)

It wont work unless the discipline starts from them, when there is traffic, what do you think they usually do

The governors, police, and the military. They whip people, hit people off the road, disobey/run traffic lights, take one way and like that.

ChemicalReaction:
This has gotta be one of the 'FEW' times I'm happy being a Nigerian! God see them through.. #How many wann survive if ee happen for Naija?

Millions will die God forbid. If people are asked to evacuate lagos, thats when you see some millions that will be saying 'na lie, nothing dey happen, i rebuke flood IJN, Amen.'

They will ignore the warnings until they are in close contact with the danger or until they see the flood coming and then it will be too late.

Some will say they cant leave their investments o, they cant abandon their houses, cars or business.

Check the attached picture, see the line, people are moving out of the city ordely and quietly. In some places, can you see the green grass that demarcates this highway, they would have formed another three invalid lines on it.

To keep out flood, minor flood though. This will only work for those living away far from the beach.
