    "There are three large tanks with a highly toxic chemical called methyl methacrylate, or MMA, used to make plastic, at the site in the 12000 block of Western Avenue in Garden Grove."

    "In terms of the acute toxicity of methyl methacrylate, the LD50 is 7–10 g/kg (oral, rat). It is an irritant to the eyes and can cause redness and pain"

    They were taking readings of the outside of the container thinking everything was okay but this morning they got to see the gauge on the internal temp reading showing a jump from 77 yesterday to 90 today. That’s why the had the evacuation rescinded and now extended it again.

    Lots of cool drone usage happening

    40k people evacuated with no end in sight. Craig Covey’s non-update updates are enraging to the displaced.
