I'm surprised those cars don't seem to be weighed down with more personal belongings.

Ain't nobody got time for that.
 before the oil people came the population was 2000, now it's 80,000. Probably half of them have a family elsewhere and don't have a lot of stuff.

Craziness. Not much time to react and then you end up in a traffic jam.

This picture jumped out at me. A neighborhood where the homes are burned to the foundations which is not a surprise from what we've been hearing. But the clusters weren't cheek by jowl, the grass is still green, and trees singed but standing. I guess airborne sparks/cinders and a hot wind, but still freaky.

With the tar sands being kind of on the ropes economically and politically, I wonder if people just move on?

I can't get over the homes completely destroyed while across the street, even next door untouched.

They had to get out in a hurry, just leave the two bikes and snowmobile.

Knowing a fire is coming, why then would anyone leave their vehicles behind? Do so many have defunct vehicles in their driveways?
