I am called at work by neighbors & my husband that the road workers burst the gas main in front of my home.

My husband was told to evacuate. SDG&E will be working into the night digging up mine & my neighbors yards to replace a burst gas main.

This is my husband fleeing our house with cats strapped to him in cat carriers around noon, after firefighters told him to evacuate the house. #SanDiego #evacuation #gas
