This is a callout request. I have been searching the news in Iowa/Illinois for two stories around my daughter in the quad cities, I know all of you are better at finding stuff than I but here are the incidents I'm looking for to give her some piece of mind:
I've searched Quad city Times and local TV station KWOC, no luck:
Incident one was close to her, a hazmat situation, a gas tanker spewed in Milan, Ill. They are being mum on her news and she would like to know if they are covering up and what the tanker contained
The next incident is a bit alarming and thank goodness it took place 40 mi from her in clinton , IOWA
But this is where many nuke plants are
some teacher sent himself 4 cannisters of 1 ounce each of mercury, area evacuated, no true news being given but the mercury leaked and she has many questions:
How was he able to mail this via the PO
Was it marked?
All I found interesting in the cornfields is this:
Nuclear exercise is Wednesday

A problem at the Clinton, Il Nuclear Plant.
Did you get this one on the mercury?
Mercury spill shuts down post office
CLINTON, Iowa An investigation is under way into a mercury spill at the post office in Clinton, which lead to an evacuation.
Officials say a package delivered to a house yesterday was leaking, spilling a small amount of mercury in the home, the post office and back of a mail truck.
The post office and house were evacuated for several hours as a haz-mat crew cleaned up the spill. The mail truck was secured.
No one was hurt.
