State, Wayne, and Monroe officials were called to the Fermi II nuclear plant in Monroe early Monday evening to investigate what they would only call a "situation".

Authorities told Action News just after 6:00 that they were responding to some kind of situation within the plant.

My former brother-in-law works at this plant. Lots of ex-Navy personnel. Will not expound any further...

[Cornpone]

Let's see. Michigan? Largest expatriate Muslim population in the country? Recent announcement on Islamist web sites that the 'well laid plans' are coming to fruition? NJ Coptic family slaughtered for revealing Muslim repression of Egyptian Christians? Nah...couldn't be...could it?

Did they find some half-eaten chinese takeout and chopsticks thrown in a corner?

From the plant, there is a big presence just south in Toledo, and to the north in Dearborn.

Near Detroit. Bookmarking for follow-up reports.

Located about 20 Miles south of Detroit on the shores of Lake Erie. Prevailing winds are generally West to East and would carry anything out over lake Erie towards Cleveland East.

[PilloryHillary]

It's south of Detroit and WDIV Detroit says there are no plans for evacuations etc., as it is a "small leak". Bump for later.
