This is from an early draft of the script and sounds more friegthening then the version heard in the movie from the sound turck warning people to leave L. A.
LOUDSPEAKER Now listen carefully. This is a military evacuation order. All populated areas are to be abandoned. It is imperative that you leave the city.
251. MOVING SHOT - ANOTHER ANGLE - FAVORING LOUDSPEAKER TRUCK AND WARDENS
CAMERA MOVES with loudspeaker trucker. C.D. wardens, wearing old-style steel helmets, shouting to pedes- trians and cars. Some run to the houses. In b.g. people dash from their homes, gathering up kids, piling possessions on cars, yelling at one another. A few cars spurt out of driveways and barrel off. A chorus of wailing sirens overscene.
C.D. OFFICIALS - AD LIBS (Over loudspeaker) The Martians are coming - Take what you can carry and get out - Take food and water with you - Get away from all popu- lated areas - Go to the desert or the mountains - The City's being evacuated - Get going for your lives!

Very interesting - especially the bits that were left out.
