Scenes of the night

.



When we were up cranking out some work last night, we heard some yelling going on outside (approx 12:00am). This was strange, considering our quiet town is usually, well, quiet at night. We couldn't hear what exactly the man was yelling, but Tom figured it was a boater trying to navigate to land (the canal is only a few meters from out place) and when you're talking or shouting on a boat on the water it tends to carry. So we carried on with out business.






BANG!!!




Lights flicker, I thought for sure someone was shot. (12:23am)

{We were scheduled to walk to campus yet before the night was out (a few meters the other direction), but there was no way I was leaving now.}




BANG!
BANG!


And eventually...

Sirens




My word! Our safe quiet little town!



So I went to visit the washroom, and a little something outside the washroom window caught my eye.









That's a little over a block from our place.






The town's power went out.



Some of our neighbors began taking things out of their apartments and filling their cars to leave. I was like, Tom??? We listed our most valuables that had to come with us if we were evacuated... They were all electronics!!!! lol!

We were never evacuated and we eventually got to bed. Quite the excitement for our quiet town.
