Thursday

More or less at SFGate

Even they don't call out the city in the headline. Maybe there's some written or unwritten rule?

Aftermath of construction work, and PG&E shut lines down after the leak report, but apparently, too much gas got out before sources were shut down. There were roughly 2 hours between alert and shutdown.
