Anyone else in Bay Area, CA smelling sulphur outside?

Sonoma County - North Bay here....

Nada.

Could it be sewage overflows from the rains?

Funny that someone posted about this.

I'm in Central Texas. I walk to work and I walk home after work. So, I'm pretty familiar with the smells common to the area.

Aaaanyway, today on the walk to work, I smelled something out of the ordinary - not sure whether I'd characterise it as more of a methane smell or sulpher. Wouldn't have thought much of it, but smelled the same smell again in a completely different area on the way home.

It was just weird - enough so that I took notice. Couldn't help but think of the widespread reports of strange smells before the New Madrid quake in the 1800's...

If you're in Walnut Creek there's nothing to be worried about. Sulfur lines run throughout.

Fact.

i seriously wouldn't linger much longer in California if i were you - if it's at all possible to move interstate for you i would be moving...trust your intuition imo...


this prophetic dream about an Earthquake in Cali which puts california into the sea involved the smell of sulfur becoming very strong...

By Joe Brandt...he lived a fair while ago, and yet he knew about tiny cars, miniskirts and hollywood stars on the street....

sulfur smells are definitely associated with quakes...

You may be interested in reading the thread I posted a couple of days ago in relation to the Coso Volcanic area..

Thread: POSSible VOLCANIC activity coming at COSO Volcanic Field-CALIFORNIA....MANY earthquakes...possibly awakening

Could quite possibly be related...

I can't believe anybody still lives in that state with all the stuff going on around them and so close together now.

That shit holes going down.

Salton Sea Bubbling again. Some GLPer should go have a closer look see.

Have you seen the area of your thread.....it's booming, swarming and getting ready for something.

For trouble coming.

Hawk-O will be there soon with his beer truck....

call me a kook.

if you have ears. listen.

first florida panhandle gets washed off...

second madrid quake goes

third california quake goes.

madrid and Ca are heating up now. watch FLORIDA ...when it gets flooded ..washed over...

gtfo of madrid fault area and All of CA . it will be a madhouse for the whole state.

but if you don't care about being in zombie lands...then stick around when you see these signs

Friggin-A, THAT is why I still come to this place. The most phenomenal researchers to be found on the interwebs post on GLP. I'd bet we know stuff at the same time or only slightly after USGS does. Excellent work, excellent threads, the lot of you!

HFS!!

I, too smelt a strong sulphuric smell upon leaving my office and arriving home this afternoon...both on the SF Bay Peninsula! Struck me as odd and was expecting to smell it when out walking my dog later, but didn't... Poked my nose out the back door right now after coming upon this string, and thankfully nothing...

I trust there's no doom on the way but...

Haven't you guys had like 4 quakes in the region today?

There was a 4.4 off the coast 8 hours ago, now that we know that?....can we figure out if the wind was coming from that 4.4 just to the north of you guys?

Satelitte maps with wind direction, maybe we had a gas release offshore?

Danville Ca here, heavy sulphur smell wafting in like a bad fart..
Get ready peeps! Sometin wicked dis way cums!!
Better hope
You live in a Greenbriar Home!!

just saw this thread was about to report the smell here in central CA. It smells horrible outside like a swamp or something. its raining a little bit right now but the smell is rank nothing like the way rain should smell.

Note the time of smell, and wind direction then use the 4.4 quake offshore and see if we had a Massive Methane leak....

It's late for me, I'll check back tomorrow, good luck guys.....I'm just to the north of you.

That 4.4 was a couple hundred miles from the Bay Area:

uSGS didn't even include it as a California quake:

Not that what they do means anything.

CC County is home to refineries in both Richmond and Martinez.

Berkeley, nothing here.

I'm out towards Oakley and haven't smelled anything weird. Its been cloudy and drizzly and other than the geese squaking overhead, its very quiet.

I'm in the north part of San Jose and I don't smell anything. Just cloudy and looks like its going to rain

This + 1,000,000

Bay area is going to be leveled.

Wow! Way cool!

Now can you do that for the Peninsula? :)

Actually I've spent a lot of time poring over old maps like yours, and have found several springs in what is now Monte Bello preserve (Mindego Hill usgs quadrant). None of them mention sulphur though. But the San Andreas also runs directly through there.
