We are ok at the moment…
The studio will be closed today due to a chemical leak that is happening nearby. At 9pm last night, a tank of Methylacrylate started off-gassing into the sky. It blanketed a good portion of Toledo in a toxic fog.
Not only is this chemical toxic, causing irritation to eyes skin and lungs, but it is also spontaneously combustible at low temperatures.
Everyone within a mile of the facility was evacuated, and there is a 5 mile radius with a shelter-in-place order. Since we are in that radius, the studio will be closed today so that I can stay with my family and determine next steps (if any are needed).
I’ll keep you all posted as things change. But for the moment we are doing ok and staying indoors away from the toxic fumes.
