California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency over a massive natural-gas leak that has been spewing fumes into a Los Angeles neighbourhood for months.
In a statement yesterday, Brown said he acted based on the requests of local residents in the community of Porter Ranch and the "prolonged and continuing" nature of the gas blowout at the underground storage facility.
The well, owned by Southern California Gas Co, has been spewing up to 1,200 tons of methane daily, along with other gases. The leak was first reported in October.
