\u0027Rotting animal\u0027 smell permeates air northwest Indiana
The smell was fierce and packed a punch when it came knocking at Kate Brankin's door in Michigan City, Indiana late Sunday afternoon.She soon realized she wasn't alone after her neighbors reached out with the same complaints. Believing it was natural gas, many called NIPSCO, the gas and electric utility for the region. But, they too had no answers.
As county officials investigated, they determined that the source of the smell came from BP's Whiting refinery, which they said"experienced an operational disruption that triggered unplanned flaring of gases from their facility" following severe weather conditions. "Should we expect this every single time there is a small summer storm from BP? Why did this happen? Why did they not have precautions? Why did they have better communication put in place," asked Brankin.
