   Evacuated. We're safe with our cats, we'll see how the next few days go for our home.

   Apocalyptic scenes up here in south-central British Columbia. This photo was from when things were relatively calm.

     @blaine ha! I guess I meant, are you staying with friends and family nearby, do you need to stay near the site, or do they want you to get farther away.

     The hope is good. I am doing a lot for you.

     @blaine we all have a dual responsibility of mitigation and adaptation.

     @evan looking slightly further out, we all need to take decisive political action – both to fight climate change and the effects of climate change, but also to take immediate actions that will protect our communities, environment, and infrastructure when disasters strike (not if — ask not for whom the climate bell tolls). Our highly reactive emergency/rescue orientation in funding and action is amazing to see in action but saddening because so much more could be done in prevention.

     @evan heh, thanks, 💯 preaching to the choir. We're very well set up and safe in a nearby town about an hour away, extremely fortunate in that respect. ❤️

     @blaine I'm glad. Let me know if I can help. And if you want to get further away, come east.

     @blaine OK, sounds good. Any updates on the fire status today?

     @evan we'd been considering the possibility of a Montreal trip this summer, but felt uneasy leaving in summer (also it's really nice here when it's not burning 😅). Soon, though!

     (I gotta say I don't miss planes, either. I wish the trans-Canada train had a slightly more comfortable and affordable seating option, would 1000% do that. I'll have to get your long distance rail tips at some point)

     @evan nothing new, looks like activity has dropped off, initial Rank 6 fires have dropped to Rank 2-3, community meeting this evening. The wildfire service is really incredible and feels well organized from the interactions we've had. ❤️
