Garden Grove – Authorities released a map on Saturday that outlines the potential reach of an explosion from a failing chemical tank at a local aerospace plant. The document points to severe damage not only at the facility but also across dozens of nearby homes. Residents in the area now have a clearer picture of the stakes involved in the ongoing situation.
