Hopefully you've heard by now but it seems there was a hydrogen sulfide leak from a rail car at a Lubrizol plant in Dearpark. I believe all of the Shelter in Place warnings that were issued have now been lifted. It still stinks in my house though. Nasty rotten eggs!

Yeah, so they said…Smells nothing like HS to me. Smells like when you turn on a gas stove to light it, but 3x stronger.

Thx for the update. Thought I was gonna die when I ran outside and it was worse out there. Then I panicked for a minute.

Sounds like methyl mercaptan was released from Lubrizol which is used to intentionally odorize natural gas. Nasty stuff but more of an odor nuisance if that makes sense or makes you feel any better.

That makes me feel much better. I had to work through that horrible smell last night. Made me have a head ache and my tongue was burning.
