UPDATE @ 4:40PM: This information is from Metro 911: AS OF THIS TIME...METRO 911 HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY REPORTS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING ACUTE DISTRESS FROM CONTACT WITH THIS UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE.

METRO 911 STILL HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE SOURCE OR ORIGIN...AND NO ONE HAS NOTIFIED METRO 911 THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LEAK OR RELEASE.

AS SUCH...EMERGENCY OFFICIALS ARE NOT ADVISING A FORMAL SHELTER IN PLACE...BUT IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO VOLUNTARILY PROLONG EXPOSURE BECAUSE THE SUBSTANCE IS STILL UNKNOWN.

Initially it was reported that the local emergency administrator was fuming with anger that Bayer had not reported the extent of a Thiodicarb leak. It was reported that firemen had spray 1 ‘barrel’ of leaking Thiodicarb, then it was revealed that at least 3 ‘barrels’ had released Thiodicarb.

Then this story was removed, and no record of it is available to my search

pretty nasty?

Nasty indeed:"Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:

Salivation, muscle tremors, nausea, watery eyes, Difficult Breathing, Vomiting, pin-point pupils, ...etc, on the convulsions, unconsciousness and respiratory failure

(? woulnd't 'pinpoint eye pupils" indicate brain problems?

Through the history of such 'spills' it seems that the more dangerous the substance, the quicker the cover up....the warnings on this substance say to get into the fresh air - however, there is no 'fresh air'

Lots of chemical plants in the Charleston, WV area.

The sister plant to the Bopal, India plant ( remember that disaster?) is in Nitro, WV. IIRC. Just a few miles down/up the road.

I drive through there on my way to Ohio and I do it as fast as possible, no stops.

A shame as it’s a beautiful area.

Do you feel a Blue Haze coming on??

[Samwise]

The public is being advised that if you are in any form of distress, stay inside and do hesitate to call 911.

Do hesitate to call 911? OK....
