Naturally it's not on any websites yet, but the leak may continue for up to six hours. If you know anyone in that area give them a head's-up. Some evacuations are also underway. Shouldn't be too much of a problem though.

Guess I got a couple of phone calls to make just in case.

OH YEAH I forgot if you use MARTA in that area, the trains won't go past Lakewood, and the busses for that area are being used for the evacuations. Time to start changing commute plans for the day ahead!

A chemical leak Wednesday night prompted the evacuation of residents within a 1.5-mile radius of an industrial park in East Point, just outside Atlanta.

A 5,000 gallon tank containing a chemical sprung a leak, releasing a vapor into the air, according to early reports.

The leak began shortly after 9 p.m. Authorities did not immediately know what the chemical was.

East Point Fire Chief Rosemary Cloud described the vapor as mixture of chemicals that was "highly corrosive." She said the tank the chemical was leaking from was about the size of a fire truck.

Cloud said authorities probably could not stop the leak and would instead isolate the area.

Two police officers were transported to hospital with minor injuries, Cloud said. Hazardous materials crews, Fulton County officers and Atlanta officers were at the scene aiding the evacuation. MARTA buses were also being used to help with the evacuation.

Heh, I bet all the people living in that area taking final exams at colleges are going to be PISSED. It's times like this I'm glad I drive to class.

You guys as in Leguna, Catzgirl, Mann, etc are far away from this, right? You're the only people I know in Atlanta.

Hey!

This is on the southside of Atlanta, near the airport.

Mike, none of us live on the southside, so we're all okay. I really wonder what's going to happen with people that go to my school (Georgia State University...located in downtown Atlanta) tomorrow.

Heard about this earlier this evening. I'm in Cobb County north of Atlanta, so I'm safe as well.
