(CNN) -- More than 3,000 people were evacuated in Lafayette, Louisiana, on Saturday after two of six derailed train cars containing highly corrosive hydrochloric acid began leaking, authorities said Saturday.

The cars jumped the track about 2:30 a.m. CT.

About 3,500 homes, businesses and one nursing home were evacuated within a 1-mile area after toxic fumes rose from the site.

Residents will be allowed to return home once the spill is contained and no longer dangerous, which will take a day or two, said Joe Faust, a spokesman for BNSF Railway.

Folks, remember this could happen where you live and you and your OL and fido would have to leave your happy hunting ground. How sad, you wouldn't have a ham radio to play with. :D

They may not have ham radio to play with but they still have the ham.
