Atmos has been doing a lot of line work in Oak Cliff lately. Construction hitting gas lines is unfortunately common during infrastructure upgrades.

Oak Cliff Library is open as a cooling center too. They have water and snacks for evacuees.

I live on Beckley. We could smell it inside our house with the windows closed. Grabbed the dog and left.
