    Could be, I've a friend who moved out there from Colorado to take a job working in Biotech, and she says there are a lot of such firms in the Raleigh area, along with other high tech.

    Chemical leak forces evacuations in N.C.


    © 2006 The Associated Press

    APEX, N.C. — Authorities asked about 16,000 residents to evacuate this Raleigh suburb early Friday after a hazardous material fire at an industrial plant. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

    Officials said the fire started around 10 p.m. Thursday at EQ Industrial Services, a hazardous waste business that town manager Bruce Radford said had a variety of volatile chemicals inside, including chlorine.

    He said when he arrived at the scene, a chlorine cloud rose 50 feet in the air. He estimated that 20 to 30 explosions had occurred at the plant...

    Hello from North Carolina.

    Yes, it's me!!

    You are correct. A hazardous material storage facility has exploded releasing chlorine gas along with other hazardous materials. Apex has a population of about 35,000 and they have ordered the evacuation of over half the city already and I'm pretty certain they will need to evacuate the entire community. Apex is outside of Raleigh, a suburb really, less than an hour perhaps 45 minutes from where I live.

    It's so bad the fire crews can't even get near the place to start putting out the fire.

    As you may know there is nothing more deadly than chlorine gas. The cloud is huge hanging over the city. They are studying the winds to determine which direction it might head as it reaches a certain altitude of 3000 feet.

    They have moved people to shelters in other sections of the city and I'm watching in dismay. People are sticking their nose out of their doors to determine if they should leave or not. Newsmen are at the shelters making sure they have plenty of water and milk. They are telling people to make sure their windows and doors are sealed tight if they choose not to evacuate. Again I'm staring at the TV in complete dismay because there is no way to protect yourself from chlorine gas except to get away from it before it gets to you.

    Some people are leaving because they are near the zone and when asked by newsmen why they are leaving they said they thought it wiser to leave because their children have asthma and chemicals could aggravate it.

    Someone really needs to explain about chlorine gas. Maybe they don't want to start a panic.

    They called in Civilian Air Patrol to try to assess the chlorine plume. Unfortunately the conditions are such that they had to cancel the flight..too dangerous. The pilot who has been with the Civilian Air Patrol for 25 years said it was the worst chemical release he's seen since he's been with CAP.

    The name of the company is Environmental Quality Company located at 1005 Investment Blvd., Apex, North Carolina.

    Everyone is saying it's the worst Hazmat Emergency they have ever seen.

    PCBs are stored there too and they are burning along with chlorine and others.

    The news crews have had to move 5 times so far.

    Many people have already been taken to the hospital but we don't know the details because the news crews can't get near the affected area.

    I live 10 miles from the area. No one was injured from the chemical explosions, it's the fumes that people in the area are inhaling.

    MW........are you going to leave? Perhaps you should think about it.

    The Chlorine can spread quickly in the wind if that storm comes in fast!!
