Authorities are trying to tamp down the risk of a possible explosion or leak of a damaged chemical tank at a facility in Southern California. A crack found in the tank over the weekend could lower the risk of an explosion and does not appear to be leaking. An evacuation order remained in effect for some 50,000 residents of Garden Grove and surrounding communities with no timeline for their return. No injuries have been reported.
