- ninjin 3y agoMy thoughts usually go out to those living with say an elderly parent that can not walk and may even be without a car. 30 minutes (it can be even less than that, as it was in say 1983 with ~12 minutes [1]) is not much to act on in a case like that. It also emphasises the importance of having your evacuation backpack/gear ready, especially on a cold day like today.
