Well, turning now to California where the threat of a massive blast has been ruled out following a chemical leak. CBS News National Correspondent Jonathan
Vigliotti is in Cypress, California with more. Jonathan, good morning.
And Michael, good morning to you. Today marks a major turning point in this multi-day crisis. Still, you've got
16,000 people that are unable to return back home over concerns of a possible smaller explosion.
After 4 days of fear, this morning relief. The most catastrophic and worst-case scenario was mitigated and resolved.
The risk of a blavy, a disastrous explosion of toxic chemicals has been averted.
On Monday, officials said they have the upper hand on a chemical storage tank that was overheating at the GKN Aerospace facility in Garden Grove, California.
I'm going to go to my car. It's a major victory for many of the 50,000 displaced residents across six cities. Roughly 65% is going home.
That's a huge win. Officials say a crack in the tank had actually released built-up pressure and heat, but warned other dangers remain.
We still have to mitigate a fire and very small explosion concern. And also a spill potential.
Outside a food truck feeding evacuees, we met Jacqueline Riegos and her dog Jericho.
We're scrambling to get what we need. They had been sleeping in her car for three nights because shelters separate pets from owners, but on Monday, she had no choice. It looked like it was going to be a very hot day,
and I can't have him having a heatstroke. Officials saying they're hopeful that the worst-case scenario will not materialize.
What goes on in your mind when you hear that news? Praise the Lord.
Officials say a valve malfunction impacted the tank's cooling system. The aerospace company is now working with officials to help mitigate this crisis
and President Trump releasing federal funding to assist with the response this morning, Michael.
All right, Jonathan Vigliotti. Thank you.
