Evacuees

So today there's a chemical fire in town and they closed down the university AND mandatorily evacuated my town. So Scott and I ran home, stuffed a few clothes in a bag, and loaded the car with Sylvanas, Varamathras, Alleria, and visiting feline Leroy. Visiting turtle Turtle was left behind unfortunately but he should be okay, knock on wood.

We are at friends and hope to go back home tonight, but there's no word on when that might be. They've closed down the northbound roads. Stay tuned.

I'm flying to Colorado Saturday, so if I remain AWOL--that's why.

Back Home, Safe and Sound

We're back home. Turtle is fine and the critters are well. There's still a hunk of the county evacuated but they expect the fire to die down tonight.
