The entire population of Flagler (flag-ler) County between Daytona Beach and Saint Augustine is looking for safety.
Motorists lined up to use the only two exit routes.
This now-mandatory evacuation came after some 40-thousand residents in Volusia (vuh-loo-shuh) and Brevard (breh-VARD) Counties
were previously evacuated Thursday.
A smoky haze is clouding the sky as far south as Miami -- 250 miles away.
We go now live to Maureen Maher in Volusia County.

It has been a long, hot four weeks for firefighters - along the way, the
flames have torched 300-thousand acres and more than 80 homes and
buildings. In one rural area, the blaze has been consuming land at a
rate of 3 acres every five minutes. Only minor injuries have been
reported, but firefighters, who have spent those weeks in 100 plus

(SOT. Raymond Yeakely/Volusia CO. Spokesman) "They come in completely

(Nat sound "ACTION!")
If you were asked where this scene from the romantic comedy "Who's your Angle" was being shot, Radford would probably be your last guess. But it was the first choice of Co-writer and Independent film Director Jason Dullis. A graduate of Radford High and then Emerson College in Boston, the 25 year old wanted to come home to make his first film.
(Nat SNAP of the clip board)
Even relatively low budget pictures cost a lot of money to make. It is important to get things right on the first take not only to save the crew time, but because just 11 minutes of film cost over $200 and that doesn't include developing. Virginia is one of the few states that actually helps film makers keep costs down by not charging sales tax on items purchased for use in a motion picture. But finances weren't the sole reason for the decision.
By design, much of Mullis' crew is made up of interns.
(54:02) (Jason Mullis/Director, Co-writer)ONE ASPECT OF THE PROJECT THAT REALLY MAKES ME HAPPY IS THAT I'M PROVIDING AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE LOCAL KIDS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, AT RADFORD, AT TECH YOU KNOW THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN EVERY SUMMER OR EVERY YEAR AND I'M GLAD TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT.
Shooting is scheduled to wrap up today and production should get underway next week. "Who's your Angle" should have its Radford premiere sometime this fall.
