That was fun: At 5, we were told to get ready to evacuate.
Jemisaur
We're okay. We're still at home right now
Jemisaur
The cars are packed, the cats are cowering in hiding
Jemisaur
but we were called back from leaving by the CFS
Jemisaur
I am starting to get the adrenaline shakes
Bartleby
omg evacuate for what?? were there fires?
Jemisaur
Yeah
Jemisaur
There's still a huge fire out of control in the fire district, but we're on watch and wait, which is the lowest level alert.
Jemisaur
You know, outside "safe"
Bartleby
damn
Jemisaur
Safe. Watch and Wait. Watch and Act. Emergency.
Bartleby
Do you have an emergency alert system that will contact you even if it's the middle of the night?
Jemisaur
At Emergency, you can no longer attempt to leave, you need to get somewhere safe as fast as possible because the fire is about to hit you.
Jemisaur
Yes, we do.
Jemisaur
I've even taken my jeans off again.
Bartleby
I suppose at least having the cars packed so that you can move fast is...something, in case it comes to that, but hopefully they'll get it under control
Jemisaur
(41C and jeans is not fun)
Jemisaur
The wind has changed! Which means it's being blown not at us!
ψ Jк Aѕunvαh ☀
Oooof. Stay safe, sending my best thoughts your way
Zigzag Stampede
I saw the smoke and was wondering how you were doing. I'm glad you don't have to leave
Jemisaur
It looks like we're going to be okay.
♔ 𝘗𝘌𝘕𝘋𝘙𝘈𝘎𝘖𝘕 🍉
Oh my gosh, stay safe!
Jemisaur
We'll leave the radio on all night for the alert but we're winding down here
Jemisaur
JJ is still in hiding
Jemisaur
2 doors down have got out of their gear and are settling in to eat, so if they're chill that it's okay, it probably will be
Bartleby
This all just sounds so incredibly stressful. I hope some of the chill vibes from neighbours around you can help you all collectively relax a little bit through the night
Jemisaur
We're technically JUST inside the emergency zone, but only because of an incident that's under control which nudges us from "safe" into it
Jemisaur
And it is INCREDIBLY stressful
Jemisaur
We've been upgraded again
Jemisaur
Whole area around us as well.
Bartleby
Oof, I guess this means you're going to wherever they've told you to. Stay safe!!
Jemisaur
It means I am here but we're keeping a fucking close eye on stuff
