They also did some night time shots at Pier 39 in San Francisco with people walking in the background and in a building that was a movie prop location that was used in Dirty Harry. (That was an actual quote from the script!) Majority of the scenes were shot on Sunday mornings. You can tell by the absolute lack of traffic. If they wanted realism of people evacuating the city, all they had to do was shoot during rush hour.
