Holy shit, depending on the quantity this is a big problem. Potential "nuclear" levels of devastation kind of uh-ohs.
The reason being, Chlorine is heavier than air, so if you breathe it in it's not coming back out without a pump shoved into your lungs. Very dangerous stuff, and invisible to boot.
"Evacuation" is an understatement for just how quickly people should be getting the fuck out of there.
That depends on how close to the epicenter you are. It's green at the source, but after it spreads out it can go pretty clear and still be deadly, especially at night and if you're unfortunate enough to be in a valley or ditch.
I'm just going off what I know from my OSHA mandated safety training. This isn't the exact video, but it should suffice as a source for where I've gotten my understanding of the gas:
Chlorine gas!?

Chlorine has an atomic number of 17.
I cannot upvote your reply because it already has 17 upvotes! I don’t want to change it!
Brilliant find. BINGO!
Someone made it 18.
Oh that bastard!
Now I can give my upvote too. Thanks for letting me know :))

If it flows with the Beaver river it will join the Ohio River West of Pittsburgh and head to the West Virginia pan handle...
Edit to add: There is a new natural gas cracker plant as well as a nuclear power plant just down river from the Beaver River too.
The British military used chemical weapons for the first time against the Germans at the Battle of Loos. They released chlorine gas from cylinders.
Wow, is this is an actual happening?
Yes my husband's son lives in East Palestine.
Chlorine is not invisible and in concentrations that could asphyxiate you you'd see the cloud coming.

Confirming. I just went through a few osha safety modules at work, on heavier than air gasses and their lethality. Scary stuff
Strong winds would mix it out and dilute the concentration
While that is true low enough concentrations can do damage to human beings and other life That is why the evacuation center may be expanded upon.
Low concentration can actually cure people.
Read about chlorine dioxide and MMS.
Small % of chlorine in the air can work like MMS.
Edit: Someone has downvoted. I don’t care. What I know is this: It helped me to cure covid in 24hrs (through inhalations). That’s all I need to know.
