Geordie – thanks for quoting the possuk. One would have to see what the mefarshim say of course, but it still seems to me that it is possible that it doesn’t mean literally “no-one”. Also, it could mean that there were specific places where no one passed by. If there were only a few Yidden left in EY, it makes sense that many parts of EY would be deserted (since the few people would probably live near each other).
