aliso canyon: The blowout forced the evacuation of more than 8,300 households, according to The Independent. Residents exposed to the gas reported nosebleeds, dizziness, and respiratory problems. For 111 days in 2015 and 2016, more than 100,000 metric tons of methane a potent greenhouse gas and other harmful chemicals leaked into the atmosphere from the blowout of well SS-25 at SoCal Gas's Aliso Canyon underground gas storage facility in Los Angeles. More than three years later, many report severe health effects. In other words, SoCal Gas, the largest natural gas provider in the nation, brought us the largest methane leak disaster in United States history. In May 2019, an independent report commissioned by the California Public Utilities Commission put the blame for this disaster squarely on SoCal Gas.
