Desolance 

Used to describe the entire event, including the action that sparked those to wish to leave a location, and that of the action of the inhabitants leaving said location, of an area being desolated or becoming devoid of life.

Elaboration of the Definition (Examples):
"the action that sparked...":

"the action of the inhabitants leaving...": The citizens of the city evacuated in horror when news spread about the explosives.

A Desolance can have many Desolances within (Called Subdesolances), as long as they are restricted to describing short periods of time where each had a new problem arise.
Example of the Main Desolance:
The Desolance of America caused by a great link of explosives, spanning the country, demolishing city after city, state after state, until everyone who hadn't evacuated, were turned into ash and dust.

Example of the Subdesolance:
A massive pothole in the road lead to people finding mass amounts of dormant explosives dwelling beneath their city, which was later found to span the entire state. When news spread about the explosives, citizens began evacuating the state.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
