Ah.

There's an evac alert* for part of the municipality. The relevant communities are like 50 KM away. And - just an alert. Not an order.

But it's almost the anniversary of the Beast. And I sure do remember that a few days before May 03, there were evac alerts and orders for the southern part of the region. "Man, it sucks for those guys" I said on May 01 2016; and then on May 03 eighty thousand people were evacuating down one road.

So... uh. Yeah, packing a go bag. Just in case. And putting it in my car. Along with a bag of shelf-stable groceries, because I remember being stuck overnight at a campsite with no food, which royally sucked. (We got to Edmonton the next day, so not problem, but it still sucked.) Most likely, nothing will happen, but if something does happen, at least I'll be prepared.

I'm still going to go to judo tonight and enjoy myself, but uh... I think I'll gas up on the way home. I probably have enough fuel to get to Athabasca, but, like. You never know.

(Am I ever not going to be jumpy around this time of year? ...Probably not.)

Good luck, and may you be safe and well and spared from any Beastly Returns!

[yuuago]

TY. <3 It'll probably be nothing, and in a week I'll unpack and put everything back, but in the meantime - well, you never know.

[kiraly]

Oof, I hope nothing comes of it! It sounds like you're taking sensible precautions in case they're needed though.

[yuuago]

<3 It'll probably be nothing! Ah, well.

♥ Here's hoping the prep won't be necessary.

[yuuago]

Yeaaahh, that's all there is to say on it, isn't there. <3

[allekha]

Definitely good to be prepared, but I hope all goes well and you don't end up needing them.

[yuuago]

Thanks, man. <3

[seerofrage]

Playing it safe sounds like a good call, just in case. Hopefully it's not needed, take care! <3

[yuuago]

<3 Will do. :)

[kanadka]

Aw, man. D: Always good to be prepared, and I hope you don't wind up needing that preparation, but I also so very much wish it weren't the case that we live in the timeline where this is a valid concern that weighs upon the mind. Take care, friend <3

[yuuago]

Thanks, mate. <3 I'm sure it'll be fiiine, I just... yeaaaah.
