So in one year I've survived a Hurricane, an Earthquake, a Tornado and now an oil spill

Thanks to someplace over in New Jersey we've got nasty gas smell everywhere!

Or maybe Gov Christie overdid it last night at dinner - who knows

We had one a few years ago that knocked out our power for a week (a month for some).

I have a friend that works with environment clean-up firm down in Oil Country. She said the reason they didn't report this to the news Thursday when it first happened was because it was 'contained' - meaning it was in the pond area so 'no chance' it'll spread into the water.

Sure maybe our water is safe but geez, you think they were going to get away with this with no odor! Ugh!
