to four homes, 18 wells were being monitored, and some roads in the
area were closed by the state police, it was reported.

“The gut feeling of everybody is that this is very, very rare – a unique incident,” said Mehan.
I don’t put much stock in “gut feelings” since Bush looked into Putin’s eyes…

The fish in the area were all at the top of the water column, pooled together. They're now burning a reported million dollars a day in the three wells in the area. Three days had passed since the first evacuated home and the response from the company. We may need the gas, but it's in there, not going anywhere, and we should be obtaining it properly, not quickly.
