A small town in Southern California is experiencing an environmental catastrophe, forcing 2500 residents to relocate. Since the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, there has not been a bigger environmental disaster.
With 100,000 pounds of methane gas expelling into the atmosphere every hour for two months, the families of Porter Ranch must move to safety, as not end or stoppage is in sight.
This methane disaster is worse than can be sufficiently described in words, because while it’s estimated well over 100,000 pounds of methane spew into the atmosphere every hour, the leak can’t be halted, at least until spring. Even then, that stoppage depends entirely on the efficacy of a proposed fix — which remains a dubiously open question.
Though methane, itself, has no odor, the addition of odorants methyl mercaptan and tetrahydrothiophene — a safety measure to alert people by smell to the presence of natural gas — has made the enormous methane seepage impossible to ignore. Thousands of households have evacuated the area, despite little help, much less information, from the gas company about when they might be able to return.
A very, scary Christmas for the families of Porter Ranch.
