You never know when you will need to leave home quickly.
Yesterday morning just outside of my town there was a train derailment that caused officials to evacuate people in the area. 27 cars plus the engine derailed on a stretch of track that had just recently been replaced. The rail cars were mostly carrying new cars and meat however two tankers were carrying hazardous material that initially was worried to have leaked and cause contamination.
This caused a stretch of the highway between Union and La Grande to be closed and the people living nearby and staying at the Hot Lake Hotel to be evacuated at 2 AM. As far as evacuations go this was fairly small however how prepared do you think those people were to leave quickly in the middle of the night?
Remember anything that possibly can go wrong will go wrong at the least expected time. Always be prepared and you will not be caught with your pants down.
