Evacuation

Yesterday was an interesting day.  I got home from work to change, then left to meet up with Heather and the girls at Livvi's Tae Kwon Do practice. From there, we went to Heather's mom's so I could install their wireless network so she could use her new laptop. From there, I left to go to my workout, while Heather and the girls stayed behind for a little longer visit.  After my workout, I texted Heather about 8:15 p.m. to see if she was home, yet.  She called me back to say she can't get down our street as there are emergency vehicles everywhere (Cleves Fire, Miami Township Fire & EMS, Addyston Police, Cincinnati Haz Mat, Forest Park Fire, Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services, etc.  Long story short, the house immediately across from our house had some type of chemical spill or other hazardous issue going on.  All the homes immediately next to or across from this house were evacuated.  We were not allowed down to our house, even to just get some clothes, supplies, etc.  They weren't sure what would happen and it would be safer to stay clear from the area.  I asked how long it would be and they couldn't tell me, but had already been at it for 2 hours.  We got back in our cars and headed for my parents house to hang out and possibly sleep, if need be.  I called the Cleves Fire Department at 10:30 p.m. and got the "All Clear" to go home.  We dragged Joie out of bed and all headed home.  Needless to say, we're exhausted today!  We still don't know what spilled or how.
