More than two months after methane gas began erupting into the Porter Ranch environment, Governor Jerry Brown finally declared a state of emergency, after the residents began reporting a variety of symptoms from the fumes and gas.
The Gas Company claims that the symptoms are just from odor added to the methane and it is “just temporary, it’s not a problem, it’s not serious”. Scoffing at such a claim, attorney Rex Paris retorts, “These people aren’t stupid. We have children whose noses are bleeding every day, we have people who suffer from chronic headaches [and] are nauseous every, single day. How does that not become a serious issue?”
The only way to avoid sickness, one doctor told the residents, is to get far away. But obviously the gas is not able to be contained to a zip code and it’s reach easily could be beyong the 30 miles to the city of Los Angeles, where almost 18 million people reside as of 2013, making it “the second most populous city in the United States.”

Everyone hold your farts! We can change the world.
Max. The leak has been capped and people are moving home. Concern about Flint should rank way above this now non event.
Ok this whole thing is b******t, methane does not have odor added to it when it comes out of the ground
The problem is corporations polluting our environment. The politicians are in there pocket which is why you don’t hear about this issue and many others.
Let’s have all those liberal Idiots that reside in the f***** up state move closer to the leak!!! Lol
Or the republican asshats that oppose the EPA can all move out there.
Lived there 5 years….met people from backwoods northern Cal areas where they hunt and fish, know people who own small business there and appreciate others respectfully, and know people in LA and San Diego who save others lives firefighting and bust their asses working on the docks which take supply of a lot of things you probably buy each week. Come together as Americans and get over your loathing of other humans here going through the same struggles. What you see on tv is not the real world.
Don’t come to idaho, we’re full!
