When I saw the headline I thought it was on freaking Spall Road.
In fact this may be worse.
Any news if there are evac alerts yet?

Evacuation Alerts! If you know anyone on these roads and have reason to believe they may not have heard the news, let them know.

Google maps just shows what looks like gravel pit.
