Excitement at the homestead tonight....

[WCGreen]

All of the sudden, while watching Fringe, we smelled that awful odor they add to Natural Gas so you can tell when there is a leak.

It was overwhelming.

We called the Fire Department and they were there with in 6 minutes.

They checked the house and there was no NG detected. But when the police came by, they said they smelled something outside.

I was grateful for there diligence and they were very nice.

The smell is gone, the cats have calmed down and now it's time to head to sleep.

What a way to celebrate the New Year.

2. Uh oh...

Stay vigilent. Be safe.

3. I'm glad you two are OK...

I wonder what it could have been? Do you have skunks?

Anyway, all is well.......

Happy New Year, Chris, to you both...

Have a good sleep!

4. That's one helluva scare to wake-up to.

It's great that all of the WCGreen family is all okay.

8. Wish my black cat saw that last night.

She was farting up a storm. And, she was comfortably parked on my lap as she did so. Stinky poo!

7. have the gas company come check everything again, and maybe do a pressure test from your meter!

trust me on this, OK?

been some infrastructure going bad this year all over the country, houses/neighborhoods blowing up.

we finally found our years-long ongoing problem and had to replace some line. gas is pretty dangerous, get it checked out.
