    I am in the winter gardens and can see the site from where I am. They are not letting us have access to the cars. We share a road with the site that leads to our car park. So a lot of people are stranded, but count themselves lucky, it could be a lot worse if it were in the morning when we were trying to gain access to the car park any number of us could have been caught in it.

    I am going to work late in the hope that I will be able to get my car out at some point.

    I was just reading this and remembered when I worked in CMK and we regularly had to evacuate the buildings due to bomb scares. Not the same I know but it just made me remember
