NYT: Several hundred people have refused to leave the National Mall despite an order to evacuate because of severe inclement weather that is approaching.

Some are even arguing with Secret Service agents. At one point, a crowd of people began running back toward the stage. An officer is sternly repeating the order over a bullhorn and the crowd is booing.

Many have begun chanting “U.S.A., U.S.A.” A federal law enforcement officer is trying to assure people that the event has not been canceled.

One man walking by blamed the situation on “liberals in the weather service,” adding, “I think this is baloney.”
