My immediate family is 41 miles NW as a crow flies from the site. Something that I don't see anyone else mentioning is that Norfolk Southern had another 20+ car derailment in Portage County -- Ravenna, Ohio just 90 days prior. Luckily it didn't involved hazardous waste...or so we were told.
Thanks for the correction and the local intel, I will add an update. We're praying for you guys. Keep me posted.
