I was at the Legion downtown for Sled island and left at about 2am. We did not get evacuated. The streets downtown are eerily quiet. Even more so than normal. There are city busses parked along 1st street SW with their flashers and all the drivers huddled in one bus. There was a massive amount of police parked in the stampede grounds parking lots earlier tonight that I could see from my friends apartment and i've seen convoys of up to 20 police cars moving into position earlier tonight as well.

It was tough to get south out of downtown since macleod is closed, 4st is closed, elbow drive is closed. Had to go to 14th st sw and go south there.

All of 17th ave is evacuated. There are ribbons of caution tape tied onto the door knobs of shops to indicate that they have evacuated the area.

Phone was dead long ago so no pics unfortunately.
