  • Temperature in a damaged chemical storage tank in Garden Grove is rising by about 1 degree per hour, not cooling as earlier thought.
  • Initial drone reading showed 77 degrees, but a later gauge indicated 90 degrees internally.
  • Officials are slowing the curing process to reduce overpressure and seeking national expertise for more options.
  • Contingency plans are in place for potential explosion or leak, with only on-scene emergency personnel at risk.
