Activists Worry of Future Gas Leak 'Catastrophes' in Wake of Porter Ranch
This morning, the Los Angeles City Attorney will ask a judge to make SoCalGas act more quickly to find temporary shelter for people affected by a huge natural gas leak 28 miles west of Los Angeles. With the leak unchecked after two months, over 2,600 families have asked for shelter elsewhere. More than 550 are still waiting. City Attorney Mike Feuer says nobody in that situation should have to wait more than 48 hours. Meanwhile, activists say sloppy state oversight of petrochemical operations could lead to more such disasters.
