The mandatory evacuation zone stretches from Ball Road to the north, Trask Avenue to the south, Valley View Street to the west and Dale Avenue to the east. That includes parts of Garden Grove, Cypress, Stanton, Anaheim, Buena Park and Westminster.

No news is, unfortunately, also bad news. It means we've come up with no new viable solutions. So we're still left with worst outcomes only (the tank spilling 7000 gallons of methyl methacrylate or exploding).
Firefighters were able to examine the tank and discovered a possible crack, which may be helping relieve pressure.
There is no longer a threat of a catastrophic explosion at the tank filled with MMA (a toxic chemical) at GKN's facility in Garden Grove, CA, officials say. Residents are being asked to continue avoiding the evacuation zone.
"We still have potential for an explosion, not as bad as a BLEVE, but it's still a threat," McGovern said. "There is still a threat out there, and we need the public to keep to those evacuation zones until we deem it safe for them to come back."
The reassessed evacuation zone impacts 16,000 residents, down from 50,000 yesterday.
The new map's barriers include Orangewood Avenue to the north, Dale Street to the east, Knott Street to the west and Garden Grove Boulevard to the south.
Evacuation shelters remain open for the residents who live within the new evacuation zone.
