I'm in Columbus Ohio (mini vacation) and just heard a breaking news report that the town of Chauncey Ohio in Athens county about 60 miles SE of Columbus has been evacuated due to an unknown odor causing eye, nose and throat irritations to town residents. Local fire and police have not yet been able to determine the source.
