Summary
- A hazmat incident involving nitric and phosphoric acid in La Habra, CA—near Los Angeles—has sent a toxic orange-yellow haze over the area, prompting authorities to order evacuations within a one-mile radius.
- Firefighters and hazmat teams are working to isolate the leaking tank, and three people have been evaluated for injuries, although they later reported no issue.

All of the U.S. should sue California for it’s toxicity

They're supposed to evacuate the area and people find shelters. But if your windows are closed and you can't use the a/c and fan because it would bring the fumes in.... nitric is corrosive. I hope everyone gets immediate help. Damn do we have to start keeping gas masks
Right?! I already keep water and a hand crank radio...guess I'll just add a couple of gas masks too. What a time to be alive lol
Is anybody a little bit concerned about this weather ???? Okay so we’re having extreme heat and rainstorms , high unusually tides and flooding , fires , hurricanes, sink holes , chemical leaks what’s going on ???
@anaheimUser2137145024 climate change has been an issue for ages and has gone unchecked and unfixed, weve passed the point of no return which has led to these devastating problems
Industrial accidents the new norm, are we great yet?
