I have experimented with the contents and weight. It currently sits at 19 pounds which feels really heavy. Mostly due to the food and water (MRE and pouches). I plan to go to food bars which should help. The nice thing is that it will get lighter as I eat/drink
My biggest challenge will be crossing the bay. If the bridges are out, I could "borrow" a boat. Worst case is I would have to walk around the bay but I am pretty close to that end.
None of this would be fun but I am confident I could make it. I still have tweaks to make to my bag and plan but I feel it's a good start.

I bet there would be many ferries running as well as shuttles running as possible.
