FOUND SAFE!
Just came in, minutes ago, the two boys were found safe.
But, this is 12 hours later, WTF on the Alerts?
EDITED 9am
WHY IS THERE NO EMERGENCY ALERT? I got one for a gas leak in Dartmouth, nowhere near me, but I can walk to this location? #NovaScotia #EmergencyAlert #Halifax

On 1 kilometer of the main road, 2 people turned left suddenly, across 3 lanes, right in front of me.
3 of 5 grey cars had no lights on. It's been mandatory in Canada since 2015
*Always running lights*
Vehicles that blend best, in dense fog & rain, should require background checks of potential to buyers.
#Sackville Imagine if I had to go to #Halifax ? The numbers increase exponentially with density..

Everywhere is a sheet of ice!
Nearly broke my neck getting to a sidewalk, they were salted in #Sackville, but places people parked into the sidewalk were ice too, the Saltmobile had to drive around bumpers. #HFXTraffic
I *skated* across intersections to get to the next sidewalk. #BeCareful it *says* 4°C, but the ground and pavement is well below freezing. Little speed bumps of rain runoffs in random locations.
Extremely icey walk. Had to change routes, because only the sidewalks have salt #Sackville
Everything at the freezing mark, and the sunrise chilling it even more. At risk of being run over, I walk the shoulder of the side streets (normally) but there's no salt on secondary roads.
I lost trim, a shed wall, and a large gate.
Oh, And it took down my cow.
The other one was just injured, slightly.

The #NovaScotia government, #Halifax ( #HRM ), and two private developers will build a rent-geared-to-income tiny home community in Lower #Sackville, with residents moving in the autumn of 2024.
The project will be the first community of its kind in #NS, but will also displace people who are now living in tents on the land on which the #TinyHomes will be built.

#Canada has a patchwork of flood mapping where it has any at all. Some are even kept hidden from the public.
