we're now at my parents house (Milton, Edgewood area) we were supposed to be going to church tonight but apparantley theres a nursing home in Fife that is being evacuated and will be using our church as a shelter...man this is messing everyone up! Schools are all out and Orting looks empty...the firefighters were driving up and down our development honking and yelling out of the loudspeaker..."mandatory evacuation"

I got some great pics (as I was driving) hehe I'll post asap!!

Glad you guys left when you did! Looks like a lot of people can't get out anymore if they wanted to.

I'm starting to get worried about the daycare now though!

Good to hear. Getting to Bonney Lake after work wasn't fun at all and I was thinking about all of the people in the Sumner and Orting areas and how much worse it must be!  This is total craziness.
