Carmageddon, the update

As Riled Up noted previously, a carmageddon was expected to descend upon poor Los Angeles from July 15-18. However, according to the LA Times, it hasn't been as apocalyptic as predicted for Angelenos.

"Thank you for staying out of the closure area" said the release but they warned the public not to get complacent. For those hoping for something a bit more dramatic, I guess you will need to be satisfied with a commemorative tee shirt.
