Quote: "...residents complained about a plugged probe site leaking gas in front of homes on Sauce Piquante Lane. Boudreaux said he tested the hole and found leaking gas at a concentration that was approaching an explosive level."

It's probably less painful - and more survivable - to leave in a car than to be launched out of the area by an explosion. Second link is constantly updated for anyone living in - or concerned about - this area...
