A highway camera photo shows traffic in FortMcMurray jammed in the southbound lane of Highway 63 on the north side of the Athabasca River. The image was captured at 3:11 p.m. MT, about an hour after an evacuation order was issued for four neighbourhoods. (511 Alberta)

That would be an adventure!

there’s a train, but summer only and might be once a day so won’t help much

there’s a small airport, but I Don’t know if there is any scheduled service, so won’t help much

yep, several ferries but might be summer, I don’t know. That would help a little if they’re running

Yeah, I can picture hundreds of small boats
