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 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
