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.”

Justin with all the name calling your a moron! If people are trying to warn of any danger, this is a good thing! The smell of any gas is not good and will create issue for people. Things are not always propaganda. Your foolish!
Mike Moser this page does nothing but use scare tactics… This leak has been in the news for weeks. It would literally take decades before any actual harm is done to major areas
Cover it with gas and set it on fire!
Please define who causes the or worse and who prevents the or worse….for science…
Funny thing to me there not saying much about that but they are taking all our jobs here not to mine coal
Anyone here hear of this?
Liberal Karma you cant consume everything then expect everyone who did clean up the mess now the earth is taking care of itself and we are going to have to re adjust to it not the other way around.
Yes. It’s been resolved. People are moving back this month.
