SF Gas Leak Triggered Precautionary Evacuations

Repairs are underway on a San Francisco gas line.  A construction crew damaged it yesterday on Paul Avenue and it took PG&E crews several hours to stop the release of gas.  During that time, homes on Crane, Exeter and Gould streets were evacuated as a precaution.  Police went door-to-door telling everyone to leave or shelter in place.  A Muni bus was even brought in for residents.  About 700 natural gas customers lost service.
