Not choking on gas

Is there anything better than waking up to voices on the radio saying the neighboring town's being evacuated because of a chemical fire? Probably only being woken up in the middle of the night and told to evacuate because you've got a toxic gas cloud over your house, actually. So I can't really complain. Actually, it made the commute really easy, since a section of 55 and its major feeder roads were closed, blocking traffic before it got to my stretch. And hey, we(ish) were the main story on CNN and the NY Times front pages for awhile. That's makin' it big time. (Thanks, by the way, CNN, for identifying Apex on the map as roughly somewhere in the middleish of the state of North Carolina. I'm sure that was very helpful for readers unfamiliar with the area.)
