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.”

I saw. Well girl y’all welcome here on my little piece of Georgia dirt.
I love you. People are so mean.
It’s easy to sit in Florida and talk about Texans….. how about. ..yall take the mass California flood that Texas has taken in the past 3 to 5 yrs. These California folks are plum crazy with their PC and politics. They move to our state and then hate it and want to change everything about it…
Bo…. your many miles away from here. Speak on something you deal with on the daily
I thought they fixed this leak
Don’t come to CO though. You already ruined one state don’t ruin another
I deal with ignorance and selfishness daily. And I’m standing in Texas at this moment. Lived here before also, since kindness and compassion is limited by geography.
I’m I remember, it’s ‘love thy neighbor, but your neighbors’ neighbor…$#%&!@*that$#%&!@*”
I’m from N. Calif. Trust me, I wouldn’t want the nut cases either. Can’t say I blame ya. Nothing but a sh*t show here and ran by nothing but over sensitive clowns.
