Have they found out the source of the bad sulphur smell yet?? The firehall said they were all looking for it. Is anything going to be done about it….I sure hope so….my little girl’s breathing is not good right now, and hasen’t been since I noticed the bad smell.
Probably the refinery. They’ll continue to ‘investigate’ until the smell goes away.
It is not an oil smell like I have smelled before….this is different….like the news said it is sulphur….to me and friend smells like a hair salon…is sickening and causing nausea the news said
You know, when Dan was our mayor the pulp mill seems were getting a lot better…now he is gone it is worse than ever!
Dan for mayor!!!
That was quite a storm.
I was happy to get a photo of the lightning last night too:

The smell for the last 2 days has been overwhelmingly GROSS. Can’t keep the windows open as the smell permeates my whole house. It is not the “normal” pulp mill smell either, it almost burns and makes my family and I feel sick. I hope the source is found…I think it’s absolute BS that crap is pumped out into the air!
