Gasoline or natural gas (mercaptan)?

Call your gas provider if the second. Also if someone has lanterns on their house that can travel a bit.

Natural Gas…

When I was in my neighborhood I think someone’s gas line had ruptured.

College and Perkins area, smelled like a fart. It’s either clearing out or I am going nose blind to it though

Our entire neighborhood smelled rotten one morning. Gas company came around and found the leak before any boom could happen.

Had the fire department and Hazmat come out because I thought it was my house. My neighbor called since she smelled it too. Their meters didn’t pick up on anything. They are putting new gas lines in our neighborhood so I figured that had something to do with it. Don’t notice it now.

Man I thought I was crazy. Everything smelled like a dirty diaper. From Lee to Burbank and then back home off Perkins.
