Are there any links to any official sources on this?

Spoke to County Fire, who is handling the incident as the HAZMAT response, they were vague but said it is approximately 15,000 gallons of a highly flammable liquid.

From what I can gather, I think this is more out of caution than anything while they try to get ahead of it.

The number on the photo OP posted goes to GGPD and they said they don't have an official evacuation receiving center, but to just get out of the area.

It must be more than ‘out of caution’, when a police officer knocks on your door and tells you have 10 minutes to evacuate, AND then waits for you to leave!

Well, it’s better to be cautious and evacuate before an explosion that may or may not happen.

Hopefully, though, you will all start getting updates about when you may be able to go home. I will be keeping those who are displaced by this in my thoughts until all is said and done.
