We were walking home from dinner last night and we noticed about 30 buses lined up. We thought it was strange and we kept trying to figure out what was going on. As we turned the corner we saw a huge wall of smoke and about 15 fire trucks. There were police, firemen, ambulances and people everywhere. We found a side road to go one block further to our apartment. Once we made it to our apartment (on the first floor) the smoke was so bad we decided we needed to get a hotel for the night. We put Kay in her PJs and found the nearest hotel with an opening. We had a long night in a small hotel room with Kay on the floor trying to sleep. Poor thing has had so many changes in the past week. Another new bed was not really what she needed!
The evacuation brought back memories for Craig and I. We had to evacuate our house in the US a few years ago because of a chemical plant fire.
It was also strange to not really know anyone to stay at their house or what news channel to turn on to get updates!
