Natural Gas Leak In Curtis Park, One Block From My House

After evacuating my neighbors and closing 21st Street, PG&E works through the night to repair the damaged gas main a block from my house, and prevent my neighborhood from detonating into "San Bruno II".

As Renee says, "That would have made for one helluva birthday candle."

As Sac Bee relates:

Residents in an area of Curtis Park have been evacuated due to a natural gas leak caused by digging activity.

The evacuation was announced shortly before 2:30 p.m. Thursday. Sacramento Fire Department spokesman Chris Harvey said a 6-inch line was damaged at 21st Street and Second Avenue. He said 21st Street is closed in both directions and homes on both sides of the street have been evacuated between Second Avenue and Castro Way.
