Usually my posts are pretty darn funny, but I’m finding very little reason to laugh this morning. You can smell the smoke in the air, and the sky doesn’t look quite right.
In case you’re not up to date on news, Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada is burning. The entire town has been evacuated, and so many people have lost everything.
If you’re trying to find a loved one or need evacuation information, you can call the regional municipality at 780-762-3636 or the Red Cross at 1-888-350-6070.
Facebook also activated its safety-check feature for the Fort McMurray fire, an option for those who want to reassure their family and friends that they’re okay.
