TEXAS CITY, TX (KTRK) -- Residents in Texas City are being asked to shelter in place because of a hydrochloric acid leak at the city's docks.

The incident happened at the Dallas Group of America in the 300 block of Dock Road.

Texas City's emergency manager Bruce Clawson says there's been a hydrochloric acid leak from a tank in the port area, but so far, no injuries were immediately reported.

Hydrochloric acid is a widely used strong corrosive irritating acid that is normally present in dilute form in gastric juice, according to Merriam-Webster.

The leak created a cloud that's now traveling over parts of the city, prompting officials to enforce a Level 3 shelter in place. Right now, ABC13's AccuWeather forecast shows winds in Texas City are blowing from the southeast at 15 miles per hour.
