Don't know if anyone else noticed this morning, but I smelled a very distinctive odor this early morning in Sugar Land and it seems like it's probably related to the article below.

Smell from DuPont facility spill in La Porte spreads as far as Sugar Land | News - Home

I'm surprised you can smell mercaptans ( rotten eggs) from Laporte all the way in sugarland. Are you sure its not a sewer backup issue? Can't smell anything downtown.

My husband smelled something this morning before we even heard the news story. Oh well. Not a big deal!

Are you saying that plants shouldn't be held accountable for releasing toxic gases in our city?

Of course not. The proximity has me suspicious though.

You do realize that when people see steam from a plant, several run to a local quick care and complain about feeling ill. Lawyers print up cards on what symptoms to say.
