Thanks to @albertaviews for reprinting my op ed from @calgaryherald in their wildfire issue. Like the snappy headline, great for a reprint. Thanks for plug for my wildfire memoir What You Take With You from @UAlbertaPress. Honestly, I'm a bit sad my book remains so topical.
After hurricane Fiona "the region was a province of kindling" says David Phillips from @CanAmbClimate @eccc_news. In Alberta, author @wolfeislander: "It's dystopian, it feels Apocalyptic...90,000 people evacuated in one day."

@CBC has a very timely topic for Cross Country Checkup this afternoon -- evacuating your home at a moment's notice. Therese Greenwood wrote a book after having that experience, due to the Fort McMurray wildfire: WHAT YOU TAKE WITH YOU.

WHAT YOU TAKE WITH YOU: WILDFIRE, FAMILY AND THE ROAD HOME is a personal account of fleeing the #YMM#wildfire in early May 2016. Greenwood’s portrayal of how people behave in an emergency and how a community comes together is uplifting.
