    Went in to work Downtown this morning and the smell was really heavy up until about 9:30 or 10am. I was like sulfur, or ammonia, or something.

    The news was saying a Channelview facility was where it was coming from, and said it wasn't dangerous but wouldn't say what the smell was linked to.

    Well..now there saying that it's not linked to that facility at all and don't know where its coming from

    I noticed it at about 11:00. Probably just chemtrails.

    It was really potent here around Shepherd and I-10 this morning. Died out around lunch time.

    My source within the facility says that the quench tower de-inventoried quench oil. There is a sheen on cars parked near the facility.

    Usually the person who says they don't smell anything, or it smells fine, is the perp.

    Maybe it was Dwight Howard,

    “Man, it was, I would say it was really tough getting off that plane and smelling that Houston air -- not that it stinks or anything, I want people to understand, it doesn’t smell,” Howard said.​

    Has Stinkadena spread its wings? Hell, some of you should have grown up in Southeast Houston, like I did. All it took was the wind blowing in the "right" direction to stink up the area. God, how I hated it. Sometimes gave me a headache when it really got bad. Whoever said that crap is harmless is an idiot. Anything that smells bad enough that people think it's coming from the Ship Channel is bad for you, people.
