Are the Governor's eyes burning?
How far is the Gov. from the site and how far are you from the site?
My husband brought me some glasses he got from when he had cataract surgery.
It's warm here and I slept with the windows open and was awakened by sirens around 4:00 am and have been up ever since. I made tea and went outside for a while, listening to the sirens. Finally turned on the television and when I heard what was going on, even before they warned people about the dangers of a leak, I closed the windows and closed all the vents and closed blinds and drapes.
I took a shower as soon as I heard about the chemical leak (there are three chemicals that are leaking, the worst of which is 90 tons of concentrated chlorine) and washed my hair and changed clothes.
Governor reports dead animals, fish and at least one body lying outside a house. We're under a state of emergency and strongly encouraged to stay home.
I feel quite calm and safe although my eyes are burning. I am alternating eye drops, cold compresses and now have full surround glasses over my eyes. No one else's eyes seem to be affected in my neighborhood.
I don't know where the governor was reporting from...it looked like somewhere in Aiken which is about 5 miles away.
They have talked about low lying areas where the gas has settled so perhaps he was in a higher area.
