In some other parts of the country, there was extra natural gas-- so much that some producers were paying others to take it off their hands. “In January and February for most of the United States the weather has been warmer than normal, said Chris Higginbotham with theThree Culprits-- So FarThe weather explanation checks out. It’s been frosty here. “Our high temperatures will only reach the 40’s,” said NBC Bay Area“In California, the natural gas storage levels were lower than normal,” Higginbotham said.
Generally speaking, the state’s tanks were only about two thirds full. Why? We asked one gas storage company, Rocketpoint. A representative said, “gas storage levels fluctuate throughout the year” and exact storage levels are “proprietary information.” So, what about piping in more gas? After all, there was excess to the east. Analysts say California gets most of its gas through just three main pipelines. Some parts were down when the state needed maximum flow.when it exploded and destroyed a nearby home. Two people inside died. The pipeline has been offline since then.
