Rotten Smell Reeks Havoc Across S. Calif.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By Hector Becerra, Phil Willon and Andrew Blankstein, Los Angeles Times

 

When the rotten egg smell wafted into the Santa Clarita United Methodist Church in Saugus on Monday morning, Kathy Gray thought the church’s sewer pipe had burst.

More than 70 miles to the east, steelworker Chris Tatum’s nostrils got the punch in Riverside. He assumed a brush fire had just broken out.

“It reeks,” he said. “It smells like rotten mush.”

Southern California awoke Monday morning to a foul odor that wouldn’t go away.

Residents clogged 911 lines with calls, prompting health officials from Ventura County to Palm Springs to send investigators looking for everything from a toxic spill to a sewer plant leak.

      It’s imminent. This is the exact same thing that happened at the Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico when I was there. Except with this one it is a Super Volcano, which is 100 times worse… Please, if you reside in this area please leave immediately. Please.

      The town of Rotorua in New Zealand smells like sulfur permanently due to it’s geothermal activity. If it’s indeed the same case, it wouldn’t be surprising if a few boiling mud pools popped up in S.Cali along with hot springs. Of course, Rotorua is only classed as safe because it was formed 230,000 years ago by a huge ignimbrite eruption.
      Maybe S.Cali is just getting ready for one?

      The pattern of people complaining of the odor lies along the San Andreas Fault line where we had earthquake swarms last month.

      Sobering to say the least.

      Ok can anyone who has ever been to Yellowstone read this next sentence without cringing?

      “A massive fish die-off in the Salton Sea is the prime suspect in a rotten smell that swept the region, but experts can’t recall a bad odor ever traveling so far.”

      Talk about a white wash… Now is the perfect time to call in sick, take a vacation grab your kids and go elsewhere. Even for just a couple of weeks. A road trip to see New York maybe..

        Got in contact with a friend who lives at the Salton Sea. She said the rotten egg smell comes from an annual algae die-off which robs the water of oxygen which kills the fish. The fish are also toxic from the local agriculture drain-off and raw sewage from Mexico.

        She says the MSM coverage saying it’s a 24 hour thing is overblown. It isn’t that bad where she is right at the Salton Sea. Though. she did say the winds were blowing hard a couple of days ago.

        So … ???

      You sure it’s not coming from the ‘socialist sewer’ in Hollywood?LOL!

      I am no expert, but it looks like the whole “ring of fire” area is active. It would be nice if an expert would comment, but probably most are in fear that doing so could bring retaliation. I have seen a few say that “the big one” is about to occur, but without an expert seismologist, or plate techtonics expert stating this, which I have not seen, who is going to heed any non-expert warning. The fish die-off story is highly suspect, especially given the range of the odor. If I lived there and had the means, it may be a good idea to go on a road trip. I would want to know the past history of time elapsed between noticing odor and a seismic or magma eruption event though before going away for a bit. Who knows how long the lapse would be?
